    We strongly encourage customers to include the 1 year Maintenance Support Coverage option with their purchase of any Bennet-Tec Component.

    We offer FREE e-mail based Support to users with active Maintenance Support on current editions of software in the following areas,

      - Pointers to specific features ( properties, methods, events ) to meet a requirement,

      - Review and Resolution of Reproducible Problem Reports
          ( as submitted with simple sample project code )

        Our goal is reliable bug free software
        We have a target of issuing an update to correct any bug
        within 20 business days of reproducing the problem.
        ( Ugent issues can be prioritized on a paid support basis )


        * If a reported problem turns out to be due to a customer error,
        we will notify you that there is an error in your code
        but we can only correct customer code on a paid support basis.


      ** The above elements of free support are limited to current product editions and only if ALL users in the team have active coverage in the Maintenance Support plan.

      IMPORTANT - Please submit each new question on a new topic using a separate e-mail thread. This will help us to help you. It allows us to address each item separately - resulting in faster responses and tracking of each issue until fully resolved.

Source Code

Source code for Bennet-Tec components are available for purchase, providing much more than the peace of mind you have always wanted when using components. It ensures the life of your application, provides maximum code flexibility, and can be a great learning and debugging tool. The power of object-oriented programming is multiplied exponentially when you extend our source code for your own purposes. It's the unique advantage you need to stand out from any competitor.

Note: Please be aware that we do not provide technical support on our source code. It is outside of the scope of our technical support department to explain the purpose of any portion of the source code, nor do we troubleshoot or debug modified versions of our source code.
