Travis,
That's not exactly what Extreme Networks told you...
What Extreme Networks told you is that, since your equipment had a warranty that covered 1 year of hardware replacement and 90 days of support and software subscription, and that period has expired, you need to buy a support contract to get access to software updates/upgrades, receive technical support and/or replace a failed unit.
It's like with your car. After the warranty is over, you have to pay for repairs and spares...
I understand you may not like it, but that's the way it is...
Anyway, send me an email and I will help you get the image you need.
Regards, Daniel
