go to dell support, search for smart fabric os10 software; you should be able to download all the available OS and software images; licence for them is another story

Dear Vitrag,

thanks a lot for replying to this old thread.

In the meantime of couse I've visited DELL support site but they distribute only images for GNS3 virtualization.
For DELL physical switch you have to have support contract (which for home LAB is not worth paying).

you simply register and log in to dell digital locker and you can download the images; i have recently done that, i came here to find a way to recover the os10 enterprise licences

my switch had a licence but some one in my office tripped the power cord while the switch was updating and corrupted the switch internal ssd. i had to boot it from usb, format the ssd and install onie and proceed from there; i now have a functional switch with 120 day trial licence. the switches are out of support and warranty now. i hope dell supports in recovering the licences; or if there is any other way to make this hardware usable.

Hello Jelmer,

I currently have 10.5.5.3.56 and I'm searching one of the following versions / files for my HomeLab Dell S5212F-ON (which is now 2 years out of support contract):
OS10_Enterprise_10.5.6.8.242.tar
OS10_Enterprise_10.6.0.3.82.tar

@vitrag:
thanks a lot for taking care and browsing through Dell Dig.Locker website - but if I login to DDL then I can't find any OS10 for free download as you mentioned.
I tried to use "search field", but to no avail.

The EXE will work fine with onie-install, its packaged like that to make it compatible with centralized management software for updates. No need to unpack if you have a somewhat recent onie firmware.

here is what i tried recenty
i had a few dell switches, 2 of them had the licence partition wiped. i was able to download all the latest OS10 images from the DDL portal but the licences showed 120 day trial. What i did was went to Ownership Transfer | Dell India and initiated a product transfer of the said service tags to my dell account. Lucky enough, under 24 hours later my request was approved. i could now download the required OS10 and the licences off the portal and both of my switches are now working.

I just shared this info here, assuming this might help them.

Do you know if this will work with any other switches? Picked up an S series for home but they wiped OS10 off it, left onie though which was nice of them ...
It works on all Broadcom based devices, S5000 is the only series I believe.

You most likely get the required license and the latest OS10 version that was available on the date that the original support contract ended.

This!
I have available older versions of OS10 from DDL (Dell Digital Locker), but as you mentioned I can download only versions that belong to the contract that I had.
And while logged into DDL i see that more recent OS10 versions are available, I'm not allowed to download them as they were released after the end date of my contract.
E.g. filename is pure text and not html5 "anchor" / clickable link.
