Sophos Offers New Migration Perk for UTM Customers Transitioning to Sophos Firewall
June 23, 2025 - Sophos has announced a new incentive program to encourage existing Sophos UTM (SG) customers to migrate to the next-generation Sophos Firewall (SFOS) platform. Beginning June 18, 2025, eligible customers can receive a free 3-month subscription extension on their current UTM services when they upgrade using one of the available migration promo codes.
New 3-Month Overlap Benefit
This latest offer provides a complimentary 3-month subscription term for existing UTM licenses, allowing customers to run both platforms in parallel during the migration phase - at no additional cost. This overlap ensures minimal disruption and a smoother transition to SFOS.
To take advantage of the benefit, partners must:
- Include the UTM subscriptions in the quote alongside a minimum 3-year term for Xstream Protection on SFOS.
- Apply the appropriate migration promo code.
- Ensure all other promotional terms are met.
Sophos confirms that the 3-month UTM extension will be fully discounted, adding value on top of existing hardware and software promo discounts.
Promo Expansion Coming for Virtual Transitions
In the coming weeks, Sophos plans to introduce a dedicated promo code for customers moving from UTM Software/Virtual to SFOS Software/Virtual. This will extend the 3-month overlap benefit to those transitioning in virtualized environments.
UTM Lifecycle Milestones Approaching
Customers are reminded of the key dates in the UTM product lifecycle:
- June 30, 2025: Final date to order 1-year renewals (must not go beyond the EOL of June 30, 2026).
- December 31, 2025: Last day to renew any UTM subscriptions.
Terms of less than 6 months are no longer sold as of April 30, 2025.
Ongoing Hardware Discounts
Sophos also reintroduced a 99% hardware discount for customers upgrading to XGS Series 1U and 2U rackmount models - effective June 1, 2025.
