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 doesn’t expire for hardware appliances. It has an expiration date for cloud, virtual, and software appliances.

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