To extend the software-entitled download period, you must have a Dell EMC ProSupport or ProSupport Plus contract on your hardware. Bind the software entitlement to the switch service tag to be the same time as the support contract: NOTE: MX-Series Ethernet I/O modules support OS10 in the 10.5.0.1 and later releases.
