Sophos Central XDR Licensing - 3

 Sophos XDR Licensing
The highest value of A or B
USER COUNT A = Number of user licenses for XDR/MTR/Email Advanced/Mobile
B = Number of users protected by Sophos Firewall (if used)

SERVER COUNT The number of Server XDR/MTR licenses

Number of required XDR Licenses

To make use of the XDR features, you need to ensure you have the appropriate quantity of
subscriptions, plus the number of Sophos XDR licenses equal to the sum of the users in the estate.

To calculate the number of XDR licenses you first need to count how many user licenses you have. This
is either the total number of licenses that cover XDR, MTR, Email Advanced, and Sophos Mobile or the
total number of users protected by Sophos Firewall, if it is being used. Whichever number is greater is
the number you use.

You then add the server count, which is the number of Server XDR and MTR licenses. Add the server
count to the user count to give you the number of required XDR licenses.

 Chapter Review

To benefit from all the XDR features, you must have the appropriate licenses applied.

XDR Licensing is based on the total number of users plus the total numbers of servers licensed.

Here are the two main things you learned in this chapter.

To benefit from all the XDR features, you must have the appropriate licenses applied.

XDR licensing is based on the total number of users, either the total number of users covering
endpoint, server, email, and mobile, or the total number of users protected by a Sophos Firewall if it is
being used. The greater number of users is used and added to the total number of servers licensed.
