Unable to Access M-Files Support. Please Help!

Hello Friends,

I am unable to access M-Files Support even though my organization has an active M-Files Subscription. More disturbingly, the local M-Files Reseller is insisting on a 'fee' for us to access M-Files Support.

Please I need to know if this is appropriate.

Thanks in anticipation.

    In support it is relevant to distinguish between cases where your reseller or M-Files might have caused the problem by providing misconfiguration or bugs in the software, cases where the customer themselves have misconfigured something or used the software in a way that is not appropriate, and cases where the customer is asking for consultancy rather than support in the meaning that the customer wants something that needs time to develop - e.g. creating a script, developing a VAF or whatever, or something that involves consulting beyond a 5 minute phone call. The first type of cases in my opinion should be free of charge (included in your subscription), the 2 other types would be chargeable.
    If you are 100% certain that you case belongs in the first group, you should probably send an email directly to M-Files Support. If not, then think about it once more to make your requirements clear and contact your reseller again to negotiate the terms for their assistance.
