Sophos Home (private use)
Sophos offers the product "Sophos Home Premium" for exclusive use on personal devices, as part of our contract. The use of Sophos Home Premium on university-owned devices is not permitted.
Please note that the RRZ does not provide support for Sophos Home Premium.
Notes on the procedure
- Prior to installing Sophos Home Premium you will be required to register with your @uni-hamburg email address. Email addresses with the domains @uni-hamburg.de and @studium.uni-hamburg.de can be used for this purpose.
- You will receive an activation code for 12 months of Sophos Home Premium. After these 12 months you can apply for a new code for another 12 months. You will be notified about this.
- Unlock codes can be generated as long as the University of Hamburg has a valid Sophos Central license. Sophos Home Premium will then remain active until the remaining months from the activation expiration date, after which no new activation code can be generated.
- We will inform you if the contract expires.
- If you still have "Sophos Endpoint Security and Control" installed, it must be uninstalled beforehand (see Windows instructions / Mac instructions).
