Licensing

You can claim your firewall, and activate your evaluations and subscriptions. You can also synchronize your licenses.

Security protection on Sophos Firewall requires a subscription. You can configure firewall settings, but they can't be enforced without a valid subscription.

The Base Firewall license has an expiration date for cloud, virtual, and software appliances. The Base Firewall license expires on hardware devices when they reach end-of-life (EOL).

To see the firewall licensing guide, see Sophos Central: Firewall licenses.
