I have been offered a GS724TP-200EUS sealed in box from a local company that have three to sell at less than half price, it would greatly clean up my home setup that uses lots of poe injectors and two 8 port prosafe non managed switches. Do i have to run the management software or will it run out of the box in an open unmanaged mode?

All Smart Managed Plus and Smart Managed Pro switches run out of the box like a non-managed switch, all ports are member of the default VLAN 1 all untagged.
There is no management software required anyway, these are all locally Web managed units.
To avoid some good friends or neighbours visiting you I suggest you take management control at least to the level of changing the default admin password, and change the default SNMP config for read and read+write. Oh and while you are on it ensure you run a current firmware, see https://netgear.com/support
