Please read our Email Support Policy for full details

If you have an email support contract please send your questions to:

Note: Email support contracts are for 1 year. 3 hour email support contracts include up to 3 hours of time spent by our technical team in responding to your questions. (We will keep track of the available time left)

Other support options are available on request.

Email Support Policy

The product Email Support addresses are reserved for current Email Support contract holders. Email support contract holders are entitled to receive prompt responses to email questions posted to this address. Questions sent to Email Support are private and received by OSC technical staff only.

OSC will answer questions and provide advice, suggestions and workarounds for covered OSC products to the best of its ability, but we will not provide customisation, installation, custom design, coding or on-demand bug fixes as part of an email support contract. If you need consulting services please email info@open.com.au. Questions concerning other OSC products that are not covered by this support contract cannot be answered.

"Prompt" means on the same business day (Australian Eastern Standard Time) if possible and within at most 24 hours. Australian Eastern Standard Time is normally UTC+10 and UTC+11 in summer months.

In order to get an answer to a question, you should send as much information as possible, including at least:

• A description of the host and environment, including operating system and versions of all relevant software
• A complete description of the problem you are experiencing
• Configuration files (no secrets or passwords, please)
• Message or error logs, at the highest logging level you can get, illustrating the problem.

Without all this information, it is unlikely we will be able to resolve your problem quickly: instead we will ask you for more information . Hint: it is better to post too much information than not enough.

Bug reports will receive prompt attention by the appropriate Product Maintenance Team. Bugs can be fixed more quickly if you provide sufficient description and supporting material so that we can reproduce the bug. If practicable, a patch will be issued.

All email sent to an email support address MUST include your Email Support Username (UserID) in the Subject line, something like this:

Subject: UserID:xyzzy: your topic for discussion here
(where xyzzy is your Email Support Username).

Your Email Support Username is sent to you by email when you purchased your email support contract. If you are unable to determine your Email Support Username, contact info@open.com.au. (Please include your company name and, if possible, the person who originally purchased your Email support or software).

Email sent to an email support address that does not include the Email Support Username will not be answered. Instead you will receive an automatic request to resubmit your email with your Email Support Username in the Subject line.

Support email sent to individuals at OSC instead of to the relevant Email Support Address will be rejected.
