I have an HTC device which we use for development currently running Android 2.2.1. While trying to update it from:

Settings > Software update > Check new

it shows the following for quite some time and then goes to an error message:

Software Update

Checking for new Software available now.

This phone doesn't have active service right now though I am connected to WiFi. Does this matter? Does Android prevent you from updating the OS if your device is not activated on a cellular carrier?

No Android doesn't block if you are not on a cellular network. Did a OTA update of my Galaxy Nexus a couple of weeks back without inserting a SIM.

I think HTC has released no more newer builds for your phone hence you don't see it.
