Why are you searching on the Red Hat site when this is a Dell issue? It 
might be that the Dell support contract is tied to the condition that it 
only applies when you have a valid RHEL subscription. Sounds weird to me 
but that is the only way Dell could force you to get a new one.

Have you asked for evidence to support that claim? (i.e. the exact text 
in the support contract that that demands this)
