FAQs

Why should I purchase a Software support plan?

Software support plans are required for you to receive full software and software application support for your contract period. Without the plan, you will not be entitled to receive software or application support unless you purchase time and materials, which will give you one-time access to support for that specific issue.

A software support plan, including complimentary upgrades, also provide the latest SCIEX data processing and analysis tools for your laboratory.

I have a SCIEX service plan. Do I still need to purchase the software support plan to receive software and application support?

Yes. Depending on your location and the terms of your contract, you may continue to receive software and hardware support until your service contract expires. Contact your local representative to learn how you can purchase a software support plan.

I don’t have a service plan. What are my options to receive software, application and workflow support?
