NOTE: If you purchased your licenses through a GO-Global partner, please initiate your support request through that partner. If you purchased your licenses directly from GO-Global, please initiate support requests directly to us using the steps below.

Who is Eligible for Technical Support?

Customers using legacy GO-Global perpetual licenses must have an active support contract for the license(s) for which they are requesting support. In order to receive support for licenses with expired support contracts, customers can renew support for the license(s) in question. To reinstate support, customers can contact orders@graphon.com or their GO-Global partner.

Customers using subscription licenses are eligible for support for the entire term of the subscription.
