If you cannot find the answer to your issue using the resources
covered in this document, use mySupport
Web interface to submit technical questions or issues in a
service request (SR)
Use mySupport to update, view, and close previously submitted SRs
Each SR is assigned to a factory specialist who takes ownership of your
issue and works with you to solve your problem
SR progress is reported through email, and you will receive an email
notification when your SR is updated
Access your myAltera account 24/7 to view SR updates

Make sure you can clearly and precisely describe your problem
Describing the problem well helps the application engineer (AE) provide faster, more
accurate support
Error messages may not be enough for the AE to resolve the issue
It may be necessary to obtain the design files to duplicate the issue (project archive)
Some customers cannot release their design to Altera
Can a test case be generated that has the same problem?
