Sandboxie bought by Sophos

[gdant]

As many of you have probably seen already, Invincea is happy to announce that it has been acquired by Sophos.

The answer as of right now, is that nothing is changing. We will continue to operate as we have since Invincea acquired Sandboxie. We have no current plans to discontinue developing Sandboxie updates or supporting it.

We will also continue to post updates and any changes that come later to the forums.

I think this is a clear indication that nothing is going change and also clear the air regarding it's future development.

They have no plans to discontinue now as in 2017 but after 1-2 years, anything can happen (it depends on Sophos management)

Also, if they planned to do like Blue Ridge Networks Appguard has done (changed their licence policy completely), then customers will be affected especially with lifetime licences who bought to continue run that program for next 5 years. ;)

yes, it is also been acquired.. but instead of implementing their technologies into their product, sophos is leaving them to run independtly I don't know why..

It is possible and it totally depends on their discretion. 

In regard to AppGuard, presently there is no difference between version 4 & version 5 except for the licensing policy.
To be frank, no new features will be seen in version 4 but if any security issues are found then it will definitely be taken care by Blue Ridge.
