Software and Technical Support Contract (STSC), E6651AS-1SY, entitles customers to software updates and access to technical support for a fixed duration (usually 1 year) and is referenced as E6651AS-1SY.
For units purchased on or before 1st May 2008 installation of firmware version 6.3.3.0 (or above) or 5.3.3.0 (or above) automatically installs an STSC (option 1SY) license which expires on 30th June 2009. At this time it will be necessary to renew the STSC to receive subsequent firmware releases and technical support. Units purchased after 1st May 2008 include 12 months support.
