Best Solutions for current XG-Series Appliance License users:

1. Transfer / Convert the current license to the Monthly MSP renewal model provided by Sophos and their trusted partners. This will ensure that the device will be active until the end of March, 2025.

2. We recommend that you ask our GSolutions IT Procurement sales team to assist with the natural upgrade of the old device and license to the new XGS ranges of Sophos Appliance and the related security license. 

GSolutions is a registered Sophos partner and able to go through your current requirements to ensure the new firewall is sized correctly for your network. This is also a good opportunity to ask about current offers for your hardware refresh.
