Sophos Central Server - No Mixed Licenses with EDR

Sophos Central Server - No Mixed Licenses with EDR

26. JUNE 2019

Sophos Central’s server protection has recently been extended with EDR functionalities. Sophos now offers three licensing options for protecting your servers:

Regarding licensing, there is something important to note with EDR: If you license one server with EDR, you must also upgrade all other servers with a Central license to EDR.

It is therefore not possible, for example, to license one server with “Central Server Protection” and another with “Intercept X Advanced for Server with EDR”. In this case, the Server Protection license must also be upgraded to EDR.

If you are considering equipping your servers with EDR, you should therefore not forget the cost calculation. 😅

Mixed licenses without EDR still allowed

As long as EDR is not used, it is still permitted, according to our sources at Sophos, to mix “Server Protection licenses” with “Intercept X Advanced for Server licenses”.
