Technical Support

Please find our Technical Support Policy below. Before making a request for technical support we request that you read the information contained herein, which details the services that we offer and related charges.

Most technical support inquiries we receive are unrelated to the Practice Information Powertool program. They often deal with either your word processing program, your operating system, or your network configuration. These issues cannot be resolved by HiPerSoft personnel and need to be referred to your computer/network administrator, Corel (manufacturers of WordPerfect), Microsoft (manufacturers of the Windows), Apple (manufacturers of Macintosh) or other vendor.

 

Please note that having the Maintenance Package does not include technical support fees. Additionally, as of September 23, 2010, FileMaker and HiPerSoft will no longer offer support for FileMaker 8.0 and 8.5 products or earlier versions. This means that FileMaker will no longer provide downgrade rights, replacement media, technical support, downgrade media, or downgrade installation codes for these unsupported versions.

 

We are always happy to provide assistance to our customers upon request, however, in order to save your company time and money, we have created many useful resources that will enable you and/or your computer network administrator to resolve most problems that you will encounter. Therefore, we urge you to consider and use these resources.
