Activate Sophos Firewall license key

Sophos Firewall

This guide explains where to enter the license key for your Sophos Firewall.

Note: When purchasing a hardware bundle (TotalProtect, EnterpriseProtect, etc.), experience shows that the license key is automatically installed by Sophos itself. As soon as you start the firewall, the license is activated. A manual import of the key is only necessary for renewals and single licenses.

1. Navigate to the “About the product” page

Log in to your XG Firewall and click on your username in the top right navigation. Then select About the product from the drop-down menu.
