For some products, the registration information is displayed on the order page. If you still do not find a program key after taking these steps, please write us at info@softkey.net.

|
Who can I contact for technical support for the software I purchased? |
|
For most software, technical support is provided by the developers of that program. You should be able to find the developer’s website URL on the product page on www.softkey.net. Look for the keywords Support, Contacts, Tech Support, or About the Company to request support directly from the developer. |
|
|
#1387 |
|
What should I do if the software doesn’t work? |
|
1. The first thing you should do is make sure your computer meets all of the program’s technical requirements. If it does, try to run the program on another PC. If that works, compare the configurations of the two computers.
2. For most programs, technical support is provided directly by the developers. You should be able to find the developer’s website or contact information on the product's description page on www.softkey.net. A developer’s contact information for technical support can usually be found on their websites in sections such as: Support, Contacts, Tech Support, or About the Company.
3. Some companies maintain a FAQ on their websites, or they may often a Forum or Conference section for Q&A. You can use these resources to find a description of your problem and potential solutions.
4. Sometimes there is a bug in a specific version of a program that wasn’t detected during testing. As a rule, developers fix these bugs as soon as possible and issue a patch. Patches are usually uploaded to the developer’s site and can be downloaded at no additional charge.
5. If you aren’t able to find a solution on the developer’s site, please send us an email with the following information:
1. Your Softkey Order Number
2. The full name of the program
3. A description of the problem
4. When the problem occurs (after what sequence of actions)
5. The text of the message that was displayed (the error message, if applicable)
6. Information about your computer (CPU type and frequency, RAM, video card type and DRAM space, available hard drive space, audio card type, CD-ROM type and speed, and the version and modification of your operating system).
