BarTender Support Plans

All BarTender users using a supported version of BarTender qualify for support. We offer several support packages to meet the needs of any business:

• A Standard Support plan is included with an active BarTender Software Maintenance contract for your BarTender license. 30-day Trial licenses also benefit from Standard Support coverage during the Trial period.
• Buy a Premium Support plan by adding a Premium Support add-on to your existing BarTender Software Maintenance contract (check with Sales or your BarTender partner for further information on how to purchase this add-on).
• The Free Support Plan is offered to those customers running with the Free Edition of BarTender, or for customers that are on a supported version but without an active maintenance and support contract. There is no guaranteed response times for Free Support plan and you only have access to Email channel and the knowledge base.

If you'd like information on upgrading your support plan for your BarTender license, contact your BarTender reseller or alternatively our sales team.
