software support

Program help services

Software support is the assistance provided to users of a computer program, typically by its developer or vendor.

This ranges from answering questions and troubleshooting problems to providing updates and bug fixes.

The company offers 24/7 software support.

Support may be free, included with purchase, or sold as a separate service contract.

When support ends for older versions, users face pressure to upgrade: They're dropping software support for Windows 10 next year.
