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 wrote to Sophos licensing about the 50 IP limit, and got the (below) email response. I called'em too, and on the phone was told emphatically "NO" you cannot add IPs to a UTM home license, all you can do is buy the commercial license.

    It should be no surprise, I suppose, but when Astaro went to Sophos, things started going downhill. Now, with XG, they have a solution to "50 isn't enough", but the solution is "use buggy XG".

    Hello,

    As far as the IP for the UTM Home License, this is restricted to 50 IP.
    If you really wish to add more IP, then you may do so but there would be cost for adding additional IP.

    You will also need to coordinate with a Sophos Reseller for the options you can get for adding additional IP.

    I have included the Link on checking the Nearest Sophos Reseller on your area if you would like to add Ip's to your current MyUTM Home License
