Expect in our case it was purchased with 5 years support in 2018, so 
from our perspective it does not run out till late April next year.

To put it another way it is impossible to need to renew anything when 
purchased with 5 years support on an SR-650 based DSS-G because they 
have not existed for that long.

In our situation the DSS-G hardware was on-site for several weeks 
*before* the first DSS-G software release that supported the hardware 
was available.

My working theory is someone at Lenovo stuffed up when they created the 
original ESD entitlements and entered the wrong expiry date.
