How to install Sophos Central Managed Risk license

Because this purchase is a license entitlement rather than a stand-alone software package, installation focuses on activating and applying the license to your Sophos Central account and associating it with the appropriate servers and user groups. Follow these guidance steps to ensure a smooth deployment within a government-friendly procurement framework:

• Step 1: Verify you have a government-approved Sophos Central administrator account with the necessary permissions to manage licenses and policy settings.
• Step 2: Sign in to Sophos Central and navigate to the Licenses or Subscriptions area to begin activation or to add the new license entitlement.
• Step 3: Enter the license key or activation code provided with the purchase. Confirm the term length (59 months) and verify the scope of coverage (1-9 users and servers).
• Step 4: Assign the license to the intended scope—select the server groups and user groups that will be governed under Sophos Central Managed Risk. This step establishes how risk and compliance policies apply across your environment.
• Step 5: Configure initial risk management policies, threat protection settings, and governance templates. Align these configurations with your agency’s security baselines, compliance frameworks, and incident response workflows.
• Step 6: Enable automatic updates and monitoring dashboards to track license health, expiration reminders, and policy effectiveness. Validate that all target servers and endpoints report under the new entitlement and that audits can be generated when required.
• Step 7: Document the licensing details in your asset management system and inform relevant stakeholders (IT security, procurement, and program managers) about the 59-month term and renewal expectations to avoid coverage gaps.
