'software appliance' not installable on SG105w for use with home user license

I am running Astaro since v5 with a home user license at home for quiet a few years.
My current setup is a  UTM120v5 with an AP50 access point via POE power supply.

Now I got my hands on a new SG105w which should replace the UTM120v5 and AP50.
So I downloaded a fresh image of the up to date UTM9 v9.351-3.1 and burned a DVD.

Now going through the installation process I got the following error message shown:

For those who like to suggest to just upload my home user license through the installed
SSI (hardware appliance) OS ... I tried that 1st. Home user license doesn't work here!

So what's the deal? Why is that error message coming up? I never got that one on ANY
Astaro ASG120v3, ASG120v4, ASG120v5 or my current Sophos UTM120v5 never ever!
Did they implement a hardware check in the newer Sophos UTM9 installation media???

Does anyone has any experience with which UTM9 I can install a "software appliance"
OS to use my home user license on a SG105w??? Or is there no way to install it anyway?

  • Yes there's a hardware check. While there are postings on getting the home version installed you may have difficulties seeing as you have a box with integrated wireless. I have enough trouble with integrated wireless on the SG105w with a commercial license.

  • Okay. Googled a while and also searched this forum but didn't find anything useful - also nothing on how to alter the media and/or using an older utm or asg installation media to bypass the check and/or solve the problem getting the home user 'software appliance' installed. Do you mind sending me the links to the howto guides you found? Thanks.
