Before requesting technical support (of the dealer or software manufacturer)

1. Make sure that the user registration has the correct information.
2. When possible, install the latest version available (not higher version leaps)
3. Please refer to the product documentation and the troubleshooting section to search your type of problem and to solve it quickly.

Whenever you have any support query, do not forget to include the following information:

• Name, Company, Email Address.
• Product, Serial Number, Version.
• Dealer, Purchase date.
• Case (of problem) listed hereby.

This information will be required to you prior to any user care service.

1- Verify the updated information of registered user

Very often the communication between the end user (client) and the software’s support systems (those that process passwords, installations, activations and warning requirements) cannot be established correctly, due to the incorrect user registration.
Sometimes, this is the only and simple reason and explanation to the problems that may arise, particularly during the processes of installation, activation, live-update and access to the services site (service center)
Before making any query, please check in your product that the contact information registered (name, email address, etc.) is correct.

2- Install the latest minor version

The software manufacturer may regularly introduce changes to the product or to any of the processes related to the installation, activation, registration, update and complementary services. Therefore, it is likely that, if you do not have the latest version of the software, you might be experiencing any of the problems previously solved.
In order to avoid any possible chance of facing a problem case already solved, devoting unnecessary efforts to communications, monitoring and explanations, we would kindly ask you to obtain and install the latest minor version available of your product. You will find the latest version in the services site (this is not applicable when there are leaps on to major versions).
It is likely to happen that the distributor/dealer has not provided you with the latest version, since the software manufacturer offers the latest versions through Internet and in advance to all users. Please install the latest version available to speed up the feedback from technical support.
