Palisade Technical Support and Maintenance


Why Maintenance Makes Sense
All Palisade software is designed to be easy to use and is tested to ensure it works under a wide variety of environments. However, given the complexity of the problems Palisade's risk and decision analysis tools solve, the need for technical assistance is bound to arise at some point. Furthermore, in the ever-changing world of computer hardware and software, technology is advancing at an astonishing rate. It is more important than ever to keep current in order to maximize your risk and decision analysis benefits.

Keeping It Simple
Palisade Maintenance Plans are designed to cover you should you require help operating the software or resolving errors. And, Maintenance keeps you up-to-date with the latest software releases - automatically. We make keeping current with your maintenance simple � just wait for the renewal notice to arrive in the mail. With Palisade Maintenance, owning the software is as easy as buying it.

Comprehensive Coverage
With Palisade Maintenance Plans, you get all you need in a single plan. Palisade Maintenance Plans include:
Free Technical Support for 12 months via hotline or email. Technical Support hours are Monday-Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm GMT. Technical Support is available for software installation, resolving software errors, assisting with software operation, and limited model de-bugging. Technical Support is not designed for building spreadsheet models from scratch, extensive model de-bugging, or software training. These services may be obtained from our Training and Consulting department.
Access to the Palisade online HelpDesk 24 hours per day.  With the HelpDesk, you can submit new incidents, and check the status of open problems.
Unlimited, 24-hour access to Palisade’s online technical support KnowledgeBase.  A tremendous self-help resource, this is the same database of information the Palisade technical support staff uses.  A quick check of the KnowledgeBase often solves the problem in just a few minutes.
Unlimited number of incidents for 12 months.
Guaranteed 24 hour or next business day Technical Support response time.
Free software maintenance updates, such as bug fixes or minor product enhancements.

Easy to Order
In most cases, a full year of Maintenance is included when you purchase your software.  Renewal notices are mailed out shortly before Maintenance Plans are set to expire.  If you wish to renew your lapsed plan or have questions about maintenance, contact us today:

If you choose not to renew your Maintenance Plan, none of the above benefits will be available to you.  Technical support is available for £65 per incident, and future software upgrades will be made available at standard retail prices.

If you wish to renew a lapsed Maintenance Plan, you will be charged for the period since the Maintenance Plan lapsed.  You will also be charged a reactivation fee of 20% of your overall annual Maintenance fee per lapsed year.  Partial years are billed on a pro-rata basis.
