Transfer firewall licenses between Sophos Central accounts

Before you transfer firewalls, you must remove your confidential data from them.

Note

Transferring firewall licenses won't affect firewall management. To move management, you must de-register your firewall from the old Sophos Central account and register it to the new account. See Enable Sophos Central management of Sophos Firewall.
