#SOPHOS HOME UTM LICENSE IPS FALL OFF PLUS#

VMware once had a similar program where IT Pro's could pay a yearly fee to access full copies of vSphere and vCenter Server. Now you either bounce along on Free ESXi, do sixty day demos like MS, or outright buy the software. This is the reason why in recent years, Microsoft & VMware have both pulled special licensing that tech pro's once enjoyed. Microsoft Technet was a $500/year all access pass to Microsoft software from DOS 6 on up to their Enterprise ERP platforms. It no longer exists. You want to run Windows Server to practice for your MCSE, you have to outright buy the software or keep spinning up 60 day demos every few months. You have to look at what the home license is. For 'free' you are getting what amounts to a 50 IP Full Guard Subscription minus a few customization options, and no support beyond this forum. I prefer not to quote prices but according to one online vendor, that will set you back just shy of $800 for one year. That means for every Home License somebody cheats with by using it in a business operation, Sophos loses $800 in revenue. Bump that up to a 250 IP license (closest one to a class C), and Sophos would lose on the order of $2800 a year for each person who cheats. Version and device count: both your own as well as the UTM's (redact any you see fit: /usr/local/bin/count_active_ip.plx -debug -showcount)?įair enough. i was hoping that either people have a work around to this issue or to have others voice their frustrations so that this can be brought to the attention of Sophos in hopes of them relaxing their license situation. I think its not unreasonable to ask for a /24 block for their free license.īetween the software & servers I run at home (not related to my employment, just for personal use & professional development purposes) my home network quite easily bumps up against the 50 IP limit. I'd love a full Class C on the home license but I also don't see it happening.

New (and old) bugs are also a possibility. And prior threads (including those found with Google: site: license exceeded) have included responses with information on now the accounting is managed, count reset commands and techniques for reducing device count.Ĭertain types of network traffic (scans) and IPv6 privacy addresses have be reported as potential causes of 'overcount'. It was not clear, to me at least, that you were looking to solve any problems.Ĭertainly, others have encountered the license limit.
