Pick the channel that fits the urgency of your issue. Software and hardware requests are handled by the same support team.
Phone hotline
When a problem blocks production, commissioning or a running test, talk to someone right away.
E-mail and ticket
Describe the issue, attach logs or screenshots. Use the request helper below for a prepared e-mail.
Customer portal
Installers, updates, release notes, documentation and an overview of your tickets.
Remote support
A support engineer looks at your system together with you in a shared session.
RF::SUITE software
Help with installation, projects and daily use.
Our support team works with the RF::SUITE tools in real projects. Questions can be about the software itself or about how to solve a specific task with it.
Installation and updates
System requirements, first installation, updating to a new version and moving to a new computer.
Error messages and crashes
Unexpected behavior, error dialogs or crashes. Log files and the exact version help us most.
PLC, robot and fieldbus connections
Connecting real or virtual controllers, robot systems and connectors to your RF::SUITE environment.
Models and projects
Questions about building, structuring or debugging models, libraries and project files.
Performance
Slow simulations, large models or timing issues in connected setups.
Feature requests and feedback
Ideas for improvements or missing functions. We pass them on to the development team.
RF::FSBox hardware
Get your fieldbus simulation running again.
RF::FSBox links real automation hardware with the virtual environment. When it does not behave as expected, the cause can be in the device, the network or the configuration. We help you find it.
Setup and network configuration
Initial setup, IP addresses and integration into your test or engineering network.
PROFINET and PROFIBUS devices
Simulated devices are not found, do not exchange data or show unexpected states.
Firmware and software updates
Checking the installed version and updating the device safely.
Defective hardware
If a device appears to be damaged, open a ticket. We clarify the diagnosis with you and agree on the next steps, including repair or replacement.
Licenses and activation
Keep your licenses working.
Most license issues are solved quickly once we have the license ID and the exact error message.
- Activating a new licenseFirst activation after purchase or on a new installation.
- Moving a license to another computerTell us your license ID and we explain the options for your license type.
- Renewal and extensionLicenses that are about to expire or need additional modules.
- Activation errorsError messages during activation or at program start.
Purchase and quotes

Purchasing questions go directly to our sales team, not to support. They help you choose the right tools and license model.
- License models and pricingOverview of the available license options for RF::SUITE.
- QuotesA quote for new licenses, additional modules or RF::FSBox hardware.
- DemonstrationsSee the tools in action before you decide.
