Paul,

Thanks for your speedy response.

You are right, I don't understand how your support operates and I don't
understand your policies esp. regarding non-US customers.

Your support has not replied to me at all after I logged the problem in
the GTA support center website. He could have advised me of those
policies or given me a support address in Germany. If somebody would
have dropped me a short line saying, "Your request was forwarded to xyz
in Germany" I would have surely felt better. You don't mention anything
about not processing non-US support requests in your GTA support center
website.

Besides that, by looking at the issue, you can easily see that this is
not a question about configuring GB-Ware or something like that. I don't
think your reseller in Germany will be able to help much with this
problem.

BTW, I have been working with and using GTA products since 1998 and have
recommended them to numerous customers and colleagues. I'm still excited
by your product, but honestly I think the your support policy is making
things very difficult.

Markus
