Term — Months

License type

Subscription

With a subscription, we manage your firewall license for you. The license is renewed in 12-month increments as long as the subscription is active. 60 days before each renewal, we will inform you of the automatic renewal by e-mail. If this suits you, you don't need to do anything else; the license will continue to run seamlessly and you will receive a new invoice. If you do not wish to renew, a short reply to the reminder e-mail is sufficient and we will revoke the license at the end of the contract.

Important: Your firewall remains registered with us during the subscription period. This is only for license management - we have no access to your firewall! The central management of the firewall can still be linked to your account as normal. If you cancel the subscription, we will move the firewall registration back to your Central account.

Fixed term

With a fixed-term license, you take over the entire administration yourself. The firewall is registered directly to the end customer and you receive a license certificate from Sophos with an activation key. You must enter this manually in your Central Account to activate the license. The license expires after 12, 24 or 36 months and you must remember to renew it in time by ordering a new license from your Sophos partner. This process requires extra steps and attention to ensure that your firewall works seamlessly. In comparison, the subscription is much easier and more convenient, as everything runs automatically without you having to worry about it.

Your fixed term license begins on the day Sophos completes order processing (usually between 1–2 business days) and expires at the end of the purchased term, regardless of when the software is activated and/or the hardware arrives.

Your subscription will start automatically on 01.08.2025. We will activate a trial license for the remaining days so that you can start using the firewall immediately.
