GSS116E unable to update firmware either directly using current ProSafe Plus Utility or web browser
Unable to update GSS116E with new firmware file using ProSafe Utility 2.7.8 or by logging in with web browser ( FireFox or IE). The firmware file 1.6.0.5 that was posted now has a dead link. ...
So how can I get my switch up to date? Do I need to call support? Does anyone have the firmware to download and a written process to apply it even if it is a multiple step process?

Stand-by until new firmware and a new update process is becoming available.

Of course, you can open a support ticket. Unlikely to get a different information.

For a reason, any firmware release - current and all previous ones - including the release notes and the the mandatory bootloader update for this model have been revoked. Are you keen to end with a dead device, with a no longer manageable device?
Adding myself to the thread so that I get notified if there is a firmware update posted
I'm hoping the ability to define a management VLAN is added

The limitation is with the embedded controller which is attached to all switch traffic (required for various functionality reasons), it's not a management processor on a VLAN.
Received information in the back channel that a solution for updating the GSS116E is in the works but requires more time.
