Support Policy

We always try to provide the best possible support for our customers. Even though we always try to help every customer, with the current license prices we cannot respond to every request with the same intensity. This page summarizes the most important support rules.

General Rules

Commercial Products

Help with the initial installation

We will help you free of charge for up to 6 months after purchase with the initial installation of our products, should problems occur. After this period, more extensive work may incur costs. However, we will discuss this with you before starting the work. In addition, we offer a paid installation service, where we carry out the installation for you.

Help with updates

We will help you install updates free of charge for at least two years after purchase, should problems occur.

Help with errors

We will help you free of charge for at least two years after purchase with any error that occurs in our software.

General questions

We will gladly answer general questions about our products in our support forum.

Individual code changes and adjustments

Due to our low license prices it is unfortunately not possible for us to help you with individual code changes or customizations. Every change would have to be planned, created and tested by us. Additionally, changes after updates may be necessary. These expenses are not covered by the license prices. However, we would be happy to help you in the course of a costly order work. Of course we will provide you with a free cost estimate.

New features

We always have an open ear for new ideas for the expansion of our products. Wishes for new functionality are collected in a backlog in which the priority of implementation can be actively shaped by our customers. We usually implement new functionality only in feature updates. However, we cannot guarantee that every wish will be implemented. If you need a functionality faster, we will also be happy to help you in the course of a cost-based order work. Of course we will provide you with a free cost estimate.

Compatibility

WoltLab Suite Core

We always try to support the latest version of WoltLab Suite. If changes or adaptations to a new version of WoltLab Suite are necessary, the update may be free of charge or with costs. We guarantee compatibility to the WoltLab Suite version, which is listed on our product page.

PHP and MySQL

We support the same PHP or MySQL versions as the WoltLab Suite. If changes are necessary due to a new version, we will provide them in a free bugfix update, if our product version is still supported.

Used licenses

So far we have tolerated the sale of used licenses on third-party sites. We do not want to prohibit our customers to resell our licenses when they are no longer needed. However, the sale and purchase of used licenses is tied to certain conditions.
License transfer

The license transfer is carried out by us free of charge. The license transfer can be initiated via the customer interface. The sale or transfer of the access data to the forum is not permitted. Upgrades of licenses from the Plugin-Store can only be transferred in combination with the old license from the Plugin-Store, because these two licenses form one unit. In cases of abuse we reserve the right to revoke the account or block the support access.

Support access

The access to support is bound to the first buyer, i.e. the buyer of a used license has no access to the official support. After the license transfer the new owner gets free read access to the support forum. If desired, the new owner can be reactivated for support for a fee. In this case please contact us.
