Priority support options are available for level 2 or higher technical support.
Level 2 technical support is available on a fee basis utilizing support incident credits.
Level 2 support questions can usually be answered in a few sentences or paragraphs - such as explaining a software process. Support credits are used as payment, with one credit either representing one incident of up to one hour to resolve. Multiple credits can be used to cover multiple hours, up to eight hours (one engineer day).
If a Level 2 incident is the result of an undocumented bug in the Paradigma Software product, you will not have a credit deduction for your support request. If it is already documented then there will be a one credit charge.
