Support Request Prioritization

You have the option to prioritize your request yourself. However, we are not able to handle all requests with the same priority so please give us detailed information about the priority selection or change. We will do our best to process your request related to your chosen priority. Please note that we will have to change or revert the priority to the original one if you cannot provide clear and meaningful reasons when entering the request into the portal. If the priority is changed by support you will receive an email notification in that case. The entries for priority are split into two different areas which must be rated separately.
