We consider D = 6, 8, and 10 massive superparticle models, with the fermion mass generated by a central charge and with fermionic first-class constraints. We show that the D = 6 and D = 8 models with N = 2 nonchiral supersymmetry can be covariantly quantized by using the Gupta-Bleuler method in the fermionic sector. For the D = 10, N = 2 model such a method implies the truncation D = 10..-->..D = 8. We also show on the D = 6 example how to perform the massless limit, and how to extend the Siegel fermionic invariance to the massive case.
