How to Install Sophos Zero-Day Protection Renewal

• Prepare by confirming your current Sophos Central account, the renewal SKU, and any required activation codes or license files associated with your Sophos Zero-Day Protection renewal. Have your account administrator credentials ready to avoid delays in activation.
• Sign in to your Sophos Central console with administrator privileges. Navigate to the Licenses or Subscriptions area to locate your existing Zero-Day Protection renewal entry and verify the renewal status.
• Choose the renewal option and, if prompted, enter the renewal code or attach the license file provided by your vendor. Confirm the renewal details, including the 61-month term and any regional or product-specific options.
• Allow the system to validate the renewal and propagate the updated license to all managed endpoints. Depending on your environment, this may trigger policy synchronization, policy reassignment, and confirmation that protection services remain active during the transition.
• Review and update security policies as needed to align with the renewed term. Ensure that automated updates, threat intelligence feeds, and exploit mitigation settings are enabled, and verify that dashboards reflect the current protection status across devices.
• Test protection on a small group of endpoints to confirm that real-time prevention rules, behavior-based detection, and rollback capabilities are functioning correctly. Expand validation to the wider fleet once you’re confident in the renewed configuration.
• Establish ongoing monitoring and maintenance routines. Schedule automatic updates, review threat reports, and set alert thresholds to stay ahead of emerging zero-day campaigns. If you encounter activation issues, contact vendor support for expedited assistance.
