How to contact SDL Customer Support

We provide two places for our customer to log into the Support Portal. If you are an existing Enterprise Customer and have not been provided with a login for our “My Account” area then please login here.

If you have been a long standing Desktop Product user or an Enterprise customer who has been moved over to the “My Account” area then you can log in here.

Both portals link to the same Support tools that we use to support you but the new “My Account” centre provides you with a starting point to access many other features from the same place.

If you don’t have a Support Contract we will help you with licensing or installation problems (http://www.sdl.com/en/support/solution-finder.asp )to ensure that you can start to use your SDL Product but for any other problem you will either need to purchase a Support Contract or use some of the other resources available.
