Email Support

Please make sure that all support email is sent to support@elevatesoft.com. We cannot guarantee a prompt response if an email is not sent to our technical support mail address, however it will not be ignored and will be taken care of as soon as possible. If you're unsure if an email reached us okay please be sure to send the message again and indicate that the message is being re-sent. This will help us prioritize your problem better and make sure that no more time is wasted in getting the problem solved. To make things easier, we also have a web-based incident report submission form available by accessing the product support information above. This form will automatically register the incident report in our internal support database and send an email directly to our support staff with the details of the incident report.

---

Please make sure that all support phone calls are placed to 716-694-1578 (land-line) or elevate.software.inc (Skype ID) during the hours of 9:00 am EST to 5:00 pm EST. If you are experiencing an emergency and need to get in touch with us right away, please call and leave a message in the technical support voice mailbox, and we will call you back as soon as we get the message. If you are calling us via Skype, then we will automatically be notified by Skype that you tried to contact us, and will reply to the Skype ID that you used when calling us.

Support Plans

---

A 1-year, free support plan is automatically included with every product license purchase. The 1-year period is calculated using a 365-day rolling window. Each support plan includes direct email and voice support, as well as both minor releases and bug fix builds. The support plans are organized around each product, and each support plan automatically covers all minor releases within the support plan 1-year window, and all releases prior to the 1-year window of the support plan.

14 days before a support plan expires, Elevate Software will send you an email notification to alert you to the fact that a new support plan will need to be purchased. After the plan has expired, you will be required to purchase a new 1-year support plan in order to continue receiving direct email or voice support and any new minor releases and subsequent bug-fix builds. Once a given support plan has expired, you will still be able to access any existing minor releases or bug-fix builds, and will continue to have access to any new bug-fix builds for the current minor release.

If you are a customer, you can view all of the information about your existing support plans by logging in using the Login link in the top right corner of this page, and then accessing the support page for the product that you have purchased from the menu of product support links at the top of this page.
