Overview

MSTPer Incident support is designed to meet the needs of individual consumers or customers with no or small datacenters and software development organizations. An incident is defined as a question relating to a specific, discrete issue and may involve several interactions with Technical Support prior to resolution. Separate support incidents must be purchased for assistance with multiple support issues. By purchasing a 3 or 5 incident pack, you can take advantage of having the ability to contact MST Technical Support for three or five independent technical issues for your specified solution.

MST offers Per Incident support for several products allowing access to support as you need it. With Per Incident support, customers can choose to log cases and receive responses either through the Web or by the phone.

MST per-incident support is valid for one year after purchase and does not include product updates or upgrades. Per-Incident Support is non-refundable. An incident cannot be credited back or refunded even if the issue was resolved without help from technical support engineer (for example: finding the answer in the product documentation or on your own).
