This document forms part of the Sophos End User License Agreement and Sophos Services Agreement available at https://www.sophos.com/en-us/legal, or other written agreement governing access and use of Sophos Licensed Products and Services. Capitalized terms not separately defined in these Licensing Guidelines have the same meanings as in the Sophos End User License Agreement, Sophos Services Agreement, or other written agreement, as applicable.
Sophos Licensed Products and Services are licensed or made available by the applicable units specified in the table below. The Schedule issued by Sophos specifies the number of applicable units that the Licensee or Customer has ordered for each Licensed Product or Service (the “License Entitlement” or “Service Entitlement”, as applicable).
Sophos reserves the right to change or update these Licensing Guidelines in accordance with the terms of the Sophos End User License Agreement, Sophos Services Agreement, or other written agreement governing access and use of Sophos Licensed Products and Services.
The following definitions apply to the table below:
Definitions for Licensed Products and Managed Services
1.'Computer' means any device or computing environment which benefits from the Licensed Product (for example, but without limitation, workstations, personal computers, laptops, netbooks, tablets, smartphones, and environments connected to an email server, an internet proxy or a gateway device, or a database) or which benefits from the Service. The Licensed Product does not have to be physically installed on the computer environment to provide benefit, nor is there a requirement for the computing hardware to be owned by the Licensee. The term Computer as defined herein includes, without limitation, non-persistent deployments, electronic devices that are capable of retrieving data, and virtual machines.
2. 'Server' means a Computer (i) upon which the Licensed Product is installed or (ii) which benefits from the Service, wherein the Computer provides at least one application, client service, or capability.
3. 'User' means an employee, consultant or other individual who benefits from the Licensed Product or Service.
NOTE: The Product does not have to be physically installed on the User's computer environment in order to provide benefit to the User.
Definitions for Cloud Services
1.'Cloud Asset' means a single virtual machine instance (including any server instance or database instance) or container image, within a Cloud Environment that benefits from, or whose configuration is accessed by, the Service. For the purposes of this definition, ‘Cloud Environment’ means an environment facilitating or involved in the delivery of computing services over the internet, including but not limited to Amazon Web Services (AWS) accounts, Microsoft Azure subscriptions, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) projects, Kubernetes clusters, development code repositories, and container registries.
Terms for Licensed Products and Managed Services
General exception for Education, Health and Government Entities:
If Licensee or Customer is an educational, health or government entity, Products or Services that are usually licensed or made available on a per User basis may alternatively, at Sophos’ option, be licensed or made available on a per Computer basis, or for email Products only, on a per mailbox basis. If a bundle includes both email and non-email Products, the aforementioned licenses must be the higher of the entity’s Computer and mailbox count. If Licensee subsequently transfers such Products or Services to an entity that does not fall within the education, health or government sector then the License Entitlement or Service Entitlement shall revert to calculation on a per User basis.
Number of Computers (Devices) per User:
In the case of Products licensed or Services made available by User, each User may use a reasonable number of Computers unless a specific cap on Computers per User is stated in the table below. Sophos reserves the right to apply a cap on Computers where usage is deemed unreasonable.
TRIAL/EVALUATION LICENSES
Where permitted, the Licensee or Customer may request a "trial" license or subscription of a commercially available Product or Service for evaluation purposes. In some cases, "evaluation" licenses or subscriptions may be generated automatically by Sophos, in its sole discretion, for Licensees or Customers of Sophos Central Endpoint Protection and Server Protection Products; for example, in order to enable testing of pre-release features and Products, and/or for applicable temporary license or subscription extensions.
All such trial/evaluation licenses and subscriptions, whether or not they are labelled as such, are governed by the terms of the Sophos End User License Agreement, Sophos Services Agreement, or other written agreement (as applicable) relating to trials/evaluations; are provided for temporary usage only; and may be used for no longer than thirty (30) days unless otherwise specified by Sophos in writing. Note: a non-applicable date of "December 31, 2999" may be displayed in the Sophos Central console for evaluation licenses or subscriptions that are generated by Sophos.

When a User communicates with or through the gateway (including without limitation DNS and DHCP queries to the gateway and communications both to the Internet and a different LAN segment), their IP address is added to list of licensed devices in the gateway’s local database. If several Users communicate through a single device then every User is counted as a separate User. If an IP address has not been used in the last seven (7) days, it is removed from the database. | ||||||||||||
