Atomicorp Support Portal
The Atomicorp Support Portal : allows you to access all your cases, bugs, newsletters, and the knowledge base for all Atomicorp products.
The portal allows customers to setup multiple support accounts for their personnel, therefore it uses a different system from the Atomicorp product download manager. Your login credentials for installing AP will not work to log into the support portal so just select the New user? Please register option under the support portal login screen.
Portal accounts are setup by our support team to ensure that requests for access to an account are valid, and also to set the support parameters for a given customer. Therefore if you request access to the support portal it may take some time for a member of the support team to review the request and set up the account. Also, make sure you fill out your email address with any support portal access request. We can not send you your login credentials without it!

Phone support is also provided to Extended Support contract holders. Please review your contract details for phone numbers and your account representatives information.
