Kofax Certified Solutions Providers (CSPs) provide the first line of technical support to our user community. However, Kofax recognized that some users desired a direct relationship with the software vendor so they offered a fee-based per-incident service via Support Credits. The Support Credits service expired on 06/30/04.
A list of the most frequently asked questions and answers regarding the former Support Credit program are listed below. Users seeking additional options should contact our Inside Sales department via info@kofax.com.
How can I purchase Support Credits?
Kofax no longer offers Support Credits. The available support options for Ascent products are listed here. Or you may send an email to info@kofax .com for additional information.
Do I need to take Ascent Capture training before using Support Credits?
Ascent training is not required, but we strongly recommend taking the training to get a good understanding of the administration and operation of Ascent Capture.
Is there a time limit to use my Support Credits?
Support Credits purchased on or after 10/01/01 expired one year from the date of purchase. Support Credits purchased before 10/01/01 expired 06/30/04.
Are unused or expired Support Credits refundable?
No. The cost of unused Support Credits will not be refunded when the credits expire.
Can Support Credits be transferred to another company or location?

How can I monitor how the Support Credits I have purchased are being used?
You may contact Kofax Technical Support and request that we provide you an account of your Support Credit status.
