Technical Support
Policy
Foxfire! technical
support questions have generally fallen into two categories.
- Getting Started
questions: installation, upgrading, and general setup and configuration.
- Advanced
setup, configuration, querying, and reporting questions.
The technical
support services available are designed to address these two categories
of questions. The goal is that questions in category #1 should be
answered promptly and at no charge.
Questions in
category #2 involve designing complex reports, attempting to achieve
the proper query results, data warehousing and partitioning schemes,
two-pass reporting solutions, custom data item programming, etc.,
etc. These questions fall outside the bounds of basic technical
support; and therefore, it is not possible to provide free support
for these questions. Accurate answers to these types of questions
generally requires a detailed understanding of the customers business
and database. However, Micromega has a Foxfire! Consulting Services
branch to accommodate these more advanced needs of customers.
Micromega Systems
reserves the right to make adjustments to its technical support
policy at any time, including discontinuation of such support.
The two support
categories are outlined below.
Free Support
Free e-mail support is available at support@micromegasystems.com. Free support covers installation, upgrading,
and general setup and configuration issues.
Free support
is also available on the Foxfire! Support Forum.
Our support will monitor the Forum on a daily basis.
