Activating and registering Sophos Firewall

You can activate Sophos Firewall and register it.

  1. Review and accept the Sophos End User Terms of Use.

  2. To register Sophos Firewall, enter the serial number if you have one. Alternatively, you can start a free trial, which provides a temporary serial number, or skip registration for 30 days. If you’re migrating from UTM 9, you can enter its license.

  3. You will be redirected to the MySophos portal. Create a Sophos ID or sign in and complete the registration.

    Once you register, the license is synchronized.

  4. Complete the basic setup. Select Continue and complete the configuration through the wizard. When you finish the process, the web admin console appears.

You can configure the other settings, including interfaces, zones, wireless networks, and firewall rules.
