Customer support is terrible!!!

I ran into a problem with FrameMaker 12 and SharePoint 2013. I could connect and check something out, but then couldn't edit it or check it back in or every discard the checkout.

I called support, and was flat told (in an email) that FM12 does not support SPt 2013.

Well, I did my own research and discovered that 12.0.3 does support SPt 2013. I was never asked what version of FM12 I had (12.0.2). I said this and asked about updating, but then figured out how to do it and updated to 12.0.4. I said that I had already done this but still got a response on how to update, but with no comment about the problem.

The good news is, the problem is resolved with the update. But I have had days of wasted time for something that should have been a no-brainer. E.g., "What version of FM12 are you running? Look at Help/About and tell me the number." Then "You need to update to the latest, which should resolve the issue."

Seriously?!?

    Rule of thumb is always update your version first, then contact Support when it still doesn’t work.
