Macrium Product Support Policy
For Current and Legacy Versions of Reflect
Macrium is pleased to offer three stages of product support.
Stage 1:
Current Support begins from the release date and lasts until the next full product version is released. For example, Reflect 8 to Reflect X. The entirety of our customer support services are available during this stage.
Stage 2:
Extended Support begins when the Current Support stage ends and lasts for a specific duration. Typically, this is one full year. During this stage, customer support services are limited.
Stage 3:
Self-Service Support remains available indefinitely after the Extended Support stage ends. This includes the Knowledge Base, technical documentation, version-specific forum, and other resources to help customers resolve common issues for themselves.
