The login credentials no longer being available in /Library/Preferences/ meant that the Sophos Anti-Virus client was not able to connect back to the Sophos enterprise console and receive either management or updates. Library/Preferences/ in Sophos 9.x now no longer contains login information, only server locations.
This is good news for Mac admins, but the configuration and login credentials that used to be stored in /Library/Preferences/ in Sophos 8.x has been overhauled in Sophos 9.x. However, for their customers using Sophos Enterprise Console, Sophos still provides an installer metapackage. Sophos has now switched to using an application to install their antivirus.
With the release of Sophos Anti-Virus 9.x though, Sophos changed how their antivirus solution for Macs was installed. For the past few major releases, Sophos used a standard installer package to install both their free and paid antivirus solution.
