Why is it—when the big software companies that are rolling in money, and sitting on lots of cash, only offer you 30, or 60, or 90 days of free technical support (often even limiting that to installation-only issues)—that Nota Bene keeps offering free support for the entire duration of a version’s product life? (Version 8.0 has been out for over three and a half years, and we’ve never charged a penny for standard technical support.) Why is it that, when you have a problem, you can speak or write to somebody who actually understands academic research and writing?
The answer is that we think technical support matters. We want you to be using the program to simplify your work. And should you encounter a problem, we want the problem solved.
Our policy is to provide standard technical support by e-mail and/or telephone at no charge during the entire duration of a version’s product life, that is, during the time it is our current version. (Note that some services, such as training, non-NB issues related to Windows in general, requests to format NB papers or design research projects, etc., are covered by supplemental consulting arrangements.) By keeping current with the latest NB, you assure access to the kind of support and service that has been the Nota Bene hallmark for over a generation.
When version 9.0 is officially released, we will discontinue free support for version 8.0, thus allowing us to focus our resources on all NB users who take advantage of the improved versions we’ve been working hard to bring to fruition.

“Thank you very much for such a prompt reply. I wonder if I am the only Nota Bene customer who would actually report a problem to you on Friday evening--and if you're the only technical-support person on the planet who would actually send the solution on Friday evening.”
