How to log a licensing support case?

It seems SDL have changed their website, 'improved' it according to their statement. But the instructions for logging a support case have been left the same, so now they are completely useless. Can somebody please tell me how on earth I can log the [very bad swear word] ticket.  Please do not tell me to follow the 'log a support ticket' crumbs - they do not lead where they say they are leading.

Help!

  • Hi

    You can request a license reset via live chat here:

    License reset

    Click on the right-hand button 'Request License Reset' and fill out the little form that appears.

    Someone will reply very quickly, usually immediately.

    In the rare event that there is nobody available, the button will be greyed out with 'No Agents Are Available'. Then, click on the 'Submit Case' button and fill that form out, being sure to give your email address accurately so they can contact you. Remember to click 'Licensing' in the 'Case Type' dropdown. You should have your license problems resolved within 24h.

    The above is accessible even if you have no valid Support and Maintenance Agreement (PSMA).

    If you do have a valid PSMA, then, I do see what caused your confusion but the instructions are actually correct.

    So, after clicking on the Log a ticket button, the site you are taken to has these instructions:

    Text snippet from SDL Support page mentioning updates to the Log A Case form and a link to Knowledge Advice.

    and the Knowledge Advice link leads here:

    How to log a Support Case in SDL Gateway

    But when one clicks on the SDL Gateway shortcut it brings one back to the page with the above message, which seems wrong.

    HOWEVER, it isn't wrong. All you have to do is (as the instructions say) click on Login/Register on the TOP toolbar, then the following appears:

    SDL Support webpage with a notification bar on top about updates to the Log A Case form and a 'Log A Case' button highlighted.

    It is the same page again BUT it has the Log A Case button.

    Click on 'Log a Case' as highlighted above and you will arrive at the form you're looking for...

    SDL Support 'Log a case' form with fields for Customer, Contact, and Additional Emails pre-filled with 'Alison Field'.

    All the best,

  • Thank you Alison! 

    My problem was I was already logged in. Now that the login session had expired, I was able to log in from that particular page and finally saw the golden button!!

    It really should not be that difficult. People who are looking for this information are probably almost ready to jump off the top of highest building as it is.
