• Notes for multi-users
• The Support Plus package pricing is based on the cost of your Crate Pro license, NOT your full installation cost. If you received a free license, support for that license included at no charge.
• WoodenCRATES.org makes every effort possible to reduce your costs of upgrading, however Crate Pro upgrades may required upgrades to your FileMaker licensing. The Support Plus maintenance plan does not include any licensing or installation costs associated with FileMaker licensing. WoodenCRATES.org will assist you in your license management at no extra cost as well as FileMaker support as required by Crate Pro. Telephone support for other issues, if necessary, is provided at our usual support rates.
• We recommend you provide WoodenCRATES.org with remote access to your server for best support.



• For the best support possible, click on Help from within Crate Pro, then select the Support Tab. Click the button on that screen to generate system information and add your technical support question before sending the e-mail. This allows us to research your concerns without making you wait on the phone.


• For Design questions we request you fax or email your Cut sheets or Assembly Diagrams to us with your questions.
  If you did not setup Crate Pro to send e-mails, send your support inquiry from here to support@cratepro.com or call 800-577-2447 x705.

Additionally, CP5 is unable to provide authentification.Please contact your ISP for a SMTP that does not require authentification.
