Priority Support
At Aspose, we pride ourselves on the quality of our technical support. We put a
huge amount of effort into our support operation to ensure that our customers
can get the help they need.
We run our support service in a very fair “first come, first served” basis.
Users post issues onto our support forums, and our support team answer them in
the order they come in. We never prioritize customers on name or size. This
model works very well for the vast majority of our customers.
As Aspose has grown we have an increasing number of customers who need
prioritized support. These customers often have needs linked to a deadline and
require extra attention to help solve any problems. Our standard support model
does not cater for these customers as well as we would like. To help them, we
introduced Priority Support

How Do I Access The Priority Support Forum?
If you have purchased Priority Support, you can access the Priority Support
forum directly or from inside our Support forums.
Conditions
Priority Support guarantees an initial response within 12 hours of an issue
being raised during business days. We cannot guarantee a complete resolution in
this timescale but you will get an assessment of the issue. Where we can, we
provide simple fixes and work-arounds immediately. Issues that demand a fix can
take longer. Hotfixes can be provided in consultation with the customer. Large
fixes are prioritized and fed into normal product development cycle. No
guarantee can be made to the delivery date of the fix.
Access to the Priority Support forum is limited to the account that the
subscription was purchased under. At this time no other accounts can be
associated with a Priority Support purchase.
Priority Support is subject to a fair usage policy of 6 issues being raised in
any 365 day period. (By issue we mean a new Priority Support thread opened in
the Priority Support forum.) If several unrelated issues are opened in one
Priority Support thread then these will be split into separate threads and these
will count towards your usage quota.
These conditions are subject to change without notice.
Aspose reserves the right to discontinue technical support for all or individual
products at any time.
1 Hotfixes and feature requests, if supplied, are only built on the latest
version of the product in question. Versions other than the latest version of
the software are not supported in this way.
