ProductsSG UTMSophos Product Lifecycle

Important lifecycle update for SUM

We would like to inform you of some upcoming changes to the availability of the Sophos UTM Manager (SUM) and pre-announce the End-of-Life date for this product.

SUM is currently available as a free download from sophos.com. Additionally, any customer with a Sophos UTM license can get a license for SUM from the MyUTM licensing portal.

 

End-of Support and End-of-Life Pre-Announcement

We are planning a December 31, 2022 End-of-Support/End-of-Life (EOL) date for SUM.

As part of this process, we will stop the distribution of the Sophos UTM Manager (SUM) software on January 31, 2022, by removing the download option for new installs on all Sophos websites/portals.

 

Lifecycle Milestones

End-of-Distribution January 31, 2022 Software installers no longer available for download from any Sophos site/portal and new installs no longer possible from the AWS Marketplace.
End-of-Life (EOL) December 31, 2022 Support for the product ends.

Continued use after this date is at the customer’s own risk.

Customers currently using SUM can continue to do so until the EOL date. Any usage after that date would be at a customer’s own risk as the product will then no longer be supported.

We will be informing partners and customers of this change in the coming days.

This announcement does not impact the availability or use of Sophos UTM or the SG Series in any way.

Please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions in this knowledgebase article for the full details about what this means for Sophos partners and customers.
