Since XG is still buggy as hell, why doesn't Sophos upgrade the UTM 9 home license to 100 for home use?

TedAmes

I had to cut back on a lot of things at home. I have 75 ips in use (VM's, crap load of wifi devices along with fire tv's, AP's, etc.) Hell it even counts my switches & AP's, grrrr.

Since XG is still buggy and from what I have read, not even ready yet, I have tried XG on a vm, and not impressed yet. Why doesn't Sophos just upgrade the licenses to 100. 50 devices is good for a family of 2, I have a family of 5 and, have additional ips for school ipads, phones, my personal tablets, work tablet, fire tv's and crap load of VM's for homelab use. 

I had to cut a lot of my vm's off due to the licensing, They allow 5 over, but still not enough.

Any thoughts on this?

EDIT: Left out that IP6 addresses are taking up just as much as ip4 address, Each device counts as 2 because of it.

    I'm in the same situation, when my daughter and my son and his girlfriend are at home they all use their smartphones and tablets and notebooks together with my wife's and my own equipment - two IPTV devices, three switches, three AP, a print server, two PC and a lot of other stuff.

    But I never reach the 50 IP border... there are a lot of devices which do not need to have a gateway address like switches, print servers and even my AP's do not have one. If you use the UTM as the central DHCP server all the Wifi devices will use it automatically as the gateway, no need to set one on the AP.
    My AP's (Three Archer C7) even do not allow to set one if they are in AP mode. I tried the dd-wrt software and then you can set a gateway in the network config, but dd-wrt is pretty bad on 5GHz transmission and so I reverted and that didn't make a difference in Wifi usability for mobile devices.
