Introduction
Did you know that your current Support/Update agreement allows you to get support for SOS products by sending an email or by filling in a request on the SOS Help Desk website? Both of these techniques will create a new service ticket at the Help Desk, and a notification that a ticket is waiting automatically goes out to all support staff.
Emailing a request
Simply address your request to “support@sosoft.com”. Please include a brief description of your issue. (Note that emailing a specific person at SOS is not a good idea. That person could be out of the office or busy with another project and not see your email for a while. Using the Help Desk is the best way to get a prompt response.)
