Why can't I ever get anyone at the support number<Removed by Moderator>?

[Jan_E]

I waited over over an hour and no one ever answered.  There is no message about expceted wait time etc.  It is a very bad support system!  Can you improve this Adobe?

[Claudio González]

Ask Adobe. This is a user to user forum.

[Jan_E]

If I could ask Adobe, I would not be asking here!  Think about it... I am sure Adobe has moderators here - most corporations have them.

Yes sure there are moderators here who are mainly jobless g*riatrics given the title of MVP.  Their only reason for them to be here is to pass time chatting up young users like you who can't solve problems themselves!!!.

What exactly is thr problem you would like to sort out?  Perhaps these moderators can direct you to the appropriate forums where fellow jobless MVPs hang around

I'll bring this thread to the attention of the support staff; however, this is the United States weekend, so you may not get a reply until next week.

[Jan_E]

Thanks Terri!

I will try to reach support again by phone next week - maybe early in the day.  If anyone has the best time to call this number (Removed by Moderator) I would appreciate it (a time with less call volume).

Hi Jan_E,

Did you ever get your support issues sorted out? What was the product affected and issue?

Thanks,

Hello Bing,

I was able to figure out how to use the LWS site to update my software.   It took some time to learn the process and update my installation via LWS and felt like I was pretty much on my own.  I had to go to chat to find out that my new CS6 Production Premium suite will not show up in MY ADOBE account anymore!  It only is displayed on the LWS site.   It would be nice if Adobe would sync the two sites OR explains that up front.  In the past I was able to easily reach people by phone for support issues.  Now phone support seems to be less of a priority for Adobe relying more on chat instead.

What is an "LWS site" ?

[Jan_E]

It is the Adobe Licensing Website (LWS).  It is where people go to download software and register adobe software using "volume licensing".  Ref: http://www.adobe.com/volume-licensing.html. 

[Jan_E]

Here is another link:  http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/volume-licensing-site.html

The acronym "LWS" is used here often. 

[John T Smith]

Oh, Ok... I don't have that kind of license, but it only seems reasonable (to me, at least) that there would be a different process for such a license

[Jan_E]

It is reasonable to me as well.  Yes there is a difference and it takes a learning curve to become aquainted with the process.  Prehaps Adobe assumes some techincal ability and knowledge (an IT person) to use their Volume Licensing.  That would probably be a safe assumption.

Hi Jan_E,

Really glad to hear you were able to finally access your software on our LWS/AVL (Adobe Volume Licensing) site. I apologize as the volume purchasing process isn't synched up to be viewed within your Adobe ID account. This great feedback will enable us to bring these asks together and help make our processes more streamlined, so really appreciate the input.

Thanks,

Bing
