XGS 8500 Licensing: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a Sophos XGS 8500 Standalone License?
A: This is the base hardware license for the top-of-the-line Sophos XGS 8500 firewall. It includes the core SFOS, routing, NAT, and VPN. It does not include protection subscriptions like Network Protection, which must be purchased separately. It's built for maximum performance in (40G/100G) networks.
Q: Does this license include Enhanced Support?
A: No. The standalone license includes Standard Support (business hours) only. For 24/7/365 assistance, you must purchase an Enhanced Support or Enhanced Plus Support subscription. We can easily add this to your quote.
Q: Is the Standalone License cheaper than the Xstream Bundle?
A: The standalone license has a lower starting price, but you must add subscriptions. For 99% of users, the Xstream Protection Bundle offers the best value. The Standalone model is only cheaper if you have very specific, minimal needs (like a dedicated VPN appliance).
