Your XGS 87 is holding the line at the network edge. But when Central Orchestration lapses, you lose visibility, policy pushes, and threat-intel updates in one quiet tick of a clock. This is the 8-month renewal for education-sector deployments. Same firewall, same management console, no gap in coverage.
It's the EDU-licensed continuation of your existing Sophos Central Orchestration subscription tied to the XGS 87. You keep your current policies, device groupings, and reporting running without re-imaging or re-enrolling a single unit.
If your term is winding down and you need exactly eight months to bridge to the next budget cycle, this is the line item. No new hardware. No reconfiguration. Just continuity
