Coupons are typically given as part of the Sophos Home Commercial Edition (SHCE) or Academic programs. They allow participating customers to turn their Sophos Home account to Premium (or Free Academic), for as long as their company/University has an agreement with Sophos.
Please keep in mind that coupon accounts are not entitled to Premium Support.
If you need help with your Sophos Home installation contact your IT department and/or use our Knowledge Base and Chatbot solutions to find answers to questions.
Coupon requirements:
- Coupons can be used 1 time only, and they attach to a specific account.
- Coupons will not stack with Premium subscriptions. If Premium is purchased on top of a coupon, Premium will take precedence.
- Coupons cannot be transferred/added to the same account more than once.
- Coupons will auto-renew according to the company's/University's agreement with Sophos.
- Gift coupons will expire after a specific amount of time (varying from months to years).
