Bug Description
The Software and Update app incorrectly shows ESM support continuing until 31/12/99 when the machine is Pro attached. The date for basic support displays correctly when Pro is not enabled.
Worth noting that this page does not refresh when a Pro token is detached and needs a relaunch to display the correct support status.

Thanks Olivier, that was pointed out as a problem to fix in the design document at the time we landed the feature and already reported as bug #1979098
the date comes from the pro client, quoting what Renan wrote there
