SOL9057 details the ports/protocols used for network failover. 9.2 used SCTP which no other version uses. So you can't use network failover with 9.2 and any other version.

 

 

Also, even if you don't have current support you should be able to install any LTM version that was released while you had support (or possibly even later). See these solutions for details:

SOL7727: A service check date that is earlier than the license check date now requires you to relicense the system before upgrading

Aaron - he mentioned he's also using voltage though. Voltage will always take precedence. The only way network fail-over should come into play is if voltage has failed too.
