Hello,
Is anyone else out there having issues with Altera's customer support? I've had an issue open with them for over two weeks now, and haven't even gotten a response on it. Not even a "We're working on it". Does anyone know how to elevate an issue within Altera? My Altera SE has been little help of late as well. Thanks for any suggestions.

Try googling "Altera support getting"

While your business is probably important to them, they probably prioritize request based on the number of similar requests. Their ability to solve a request is based on if you included enough information. And have you made yourself available if an engineer has tried to get in touch with you?
The other route you could try is post a description of problem to this news group. You might not be the only person who has run into this problem and maybe someone else has found a solution they are willing to share or they could explain why you are have this problem.

Derek,
They definitely have enough info, as I have archived my project which produces the error. I wish an engineer would try to contact me. I have posted multiple updates to the open issue without a response. As for posting the problem here, unfortunately I can't do that b/c it would reveal confidential details. I can really only search the group for similar posts. To be honest, I was hoping some Altera folks were trolling around this board, and would help me out. I know on several occasion with Xilinx, I've gotten immediate support after posting here.

If your problem is serious and you have tried and not getting response then play it as hard you can, like if your customer is some big company then send email to Altera (not tech support but somewhere higher) and include cc: to some important person from your client, well it all depends, that is not always an option. I had todo that once when Atmel did not deliver for mass production for a big mobile company, the result was that for long time I got CC: with fedex tracking numbers whenever Atmel shipped the initial order piece by piece. Atmel is not Altera, but I tend to belive that occosianally both are hard to deal with.
Raally, try to escalate the issue, that works with Xilinx, actually they in most cases escalate it even for you, if there problem is real. And Altera is "around" and lurking here as well, so they will catch up...

I understand you frustration. I was just trying to cover the obvious. When I get to where you are, I start calling anybody that I might have met or gotten a business card from.

Thanks to all for your advice. Altera finally did get in touch with me today around 6 pm, and I feel the issue is close to a resolution. Also, these posts were not meant to bash Altera. I've used both Xilinx and Altera extensively, and they both have their strengths and weaknesses. Thanks again.
