Please explain licensing to me and why it is necessary
Sophos offers a lot of licensing options, which can be confusing. Think of these licenses, or “software subscriptions,” as feature sets. All XG firewalls come with a free, perpetual base license. This license covers network firewall, SSL and IPSec VPN, and wireless protection such as hotspot support. The other licensing options simply build on the capabilities of the base license. They add weapons to your firewall’s defensive arsenal, to be able to repulse more kinds of threats. Questions? Call 877-449-0458, or email us at [email protected].

Licensing options
Sophos’ licensing model offers four Guard packages: FullGuard, FullGuard Plus, EnterpriseGuard, and EnterpriseGuard Plus. These four packages are software only, and so are purchased as upgrades or renewals for a firewall you already have.
FullGuard/FullGuard Plus combine all the core licenses in one cost-effective subscription for complete security: Essential Firewall, Network Protection, Web Protection, Email Protection, Wireless Protection and Web Server Protection, and tech support. In addition, FullGuard Plus also has Sandstorm Protection. It is the best level of protection Sophos offers.
EnterpriseGuard features network protection, web protection and enhanced support. This is great choice for smaller “enterprises” or those that need a lower level of asset protection.
EnterpriseGuard Plus is the same as EnterpriseGuard, but with Sandstorm protection. Finally, there’s EnterpriseProtect, EnterpriseProtect Plus,TotalProtect and TotalProtect Plus: Basically these four Protect bundles include the firewall, too. This is the perfect way to order a new firewall, whether a physical or virtual one. These bundles give you pretty much everything you need in one easy-to-manage license.
