You may also use this form to enter a request for Altova Product Consulting.

Support Request

Please provide a summary as well as an in-depth description. If you are describing a more complex case please provide detailed step by step instructions so that we will be able to reproduce the situation in our environment. Please provide all code snippets as separate files and upload these with your request.

File Attachments (max. 12 MB)

For most support issues, it is mandatory that we receive the XML document that you are having problems with and all associated files (e.g. XSLT Stylesheets, XML Schema documents, DTDs, etc.). Please prepare these files for transmission to us by putting them into a separate directory on your hard disk and then compressing that entire directory with WinZIP. This will enable our support staff to quickly determine if there is a problem in your file, or in any associated document.
