you lose access to upgrades, however you're still entitled to upgrades that
were released while your SA was current.

reinstating - citrix likes for you to pay for all of the years of SA that
you didn't pay for, so if you let it expire and reinstate it 2.5 years after
it expired you'll still pay for 3 years of SA to get current again.
Depending on how long it's expired it may be cheaper to purchase it
outright, or possibly purchase an upgrade. See your friendly reseller for
possible lower-cost routes back to current SA; Citrix will only quote you
the most direct and expensive route.
