If your unit is Out of Warranty: The unit will not be serviced by the Central Technical Support nor their IT partner You have the possibility to extend the warranty (with extra 2 years) If you agree to pursue this path, then Central Technical Support will redirect you to the responsible department, from where you will receive a price offer. Also, if the unit is not covered by warranty, Central Technical Support will provide support based on a good will and only as best effort.  Nice to know: It is best that warranty extensions are purchased before the unit's warranty expires as In-Warranty service extensions are cheaper than out of warranty service extensions. Spare parts are not available for both DSA E2700 series and E2800 series when the units are out of warranty, therefore the only option left is to purchase a service extension.           2. If your unit is under Warranty: the Central Technical Support team will open a support ticket with their IT partner   Please note that for any other issues or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out the Central Technical Support team at any time.  

In order to quickly offer a technical solution or to provide a professional advice for the next analysis steps, the technical support specialists need to get some general and basic information.
