Cancel Sophos Step by Step
Sign in to your account
Visit sophos.com and log in with the email associated with your subscription.
Navigate to your subscription details
Go to Account > Subscriptions or My Products. You'll see your active plan with its renewal date.
Click Cancel or Manage Subscription
Select Cancel Subscription or Manage Auto-Renewal. Sophos may show you a comparison of what you'll lose — review it, then proceed if you want to cancel.
Request a refund if eligible
If you're within the refund window, submit a refund request through support or your account dashboard. Sophos typically processes refunds within 5-10 business days.
Pro Tip
Disabling auto-renewal is not the same as canceling — you'll still have access until expiry but won't be charged again.
Subscribed Through Apple or Google?
If you signed up for Sophos through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you need to cancel through those platforms instead.

What Happens After You Cancel Sophos?
Your protection continues until the subscription expires
Sophos keeps protecting your device until the end of your paid period. After that, real-time protection and updates stop.
Uninstall the software when your sub ends
Once your subscription expires, uninstall Sophos and switch to a free alternative if needed. Expired security software can actually cause system issues.
Your account and license key are preserved
If you decide to come back, your license key and account are usually kept on file. You can reactivate without setting up everything from scratch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a refund from Sophos?
Most security services offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're within that window, contact support or submit a refund request through your account dashboard. Refunds are typically processed within 5-10 business days.
Is my device still protected after canceling Sophos?
Yes, until your subscription period ends. After that, you'll stop receiving updates and real-time protection. Consider switching to a free alternative before your subscription expires.
Do I need to uninstall Sophos after canceling?
Not immediately — Sophos works until your subscription ends. After that, uninstall it to avoid conflicts with other security software. The program won't protect you after expiry anyway.
