Hamid, If you were alert during the holiday period, you would have noticed a couple of automated "out of office" replies to postings on this forum from one of those "non-existent" Altium monitors. He apparently forgot to turn it off when he went on holiday.
In case you missed it - this forum is hosted by one of your competitors (TechServInc - http://www.techservinc.com ). It is NOT an independent host, and it is NOT affiliated directly with Altium. Perhaps that explains the less than overwhelming presence of Altium factory tech support here, and the reason that Altium contact concerning problems discussed here is most frequently dealt with off-line. If you have a legally registered copy of any Altium product, there shouldn't be any reason not to register on the Altium site for their OFFICIALLY supported forum. That is where you would find a very active representation of both knowledgeable users, and Altium technical staff. Several years ago, this was one of onlly two forums where Protel / Altium topics were exchanged. After Altium created their own forum, this forum and the other faded into insignificance. A few of us continue to monitor here, and help when we can; however, the real action is on the official Altium forums. If you are unhappy with Altium products, and Altium support practices, I would be willing to post the contact information for other products you could buy and try - I have all of the significant EDA contacts in my Rolodex. They too have company supported forums for registered users. You also might find one of those forums more receptive to the constant whining and negativity that seems to be common here in recent months.
