Hello, amazing Altair community!

We're buzzing with excitement to welcome you to this dedicated space, created just for you as we embark on an important transition: moving Altair's support infrastructure to the Siemens Support Center. This is a big step, and we're committed to making it as smooth and transparent as possible.

This community page is your go-to hub for all things related to this transition. Think of it as your friendly neighborhood guide, offering key information, helpful resources, and most importantly, a place for you to ask questions, share your thoughts, and connect with us and each other. We believe that by working together, we can make this transition a truly positive experience!

Altair + Siemens: Forward together, The power of possibility!

Phase 1: Support Infrastructure Move

Target Transition Date: mid January, 2026

Mark your calendars! On this date, the Siemens Support Center will officially become active for all new support requests.

While the Altair Community and Altair Learning will still be up and running, this will be a "hard cut-over," for the Altair support system, which will gracefully retire for new support submissions (both email and portal).

Account Activation: Coming Soon!

Close to the target transition date, Altair commercial users and verified faculty, will receive a special activation email from no-reply@sw.siemens.com with a unique link to set up your new Siemens Support Center account. Keep an eye on your inbox! Activating your account promptly will ensure you have immediate access to everything.

Your Cases, Migrated with Care: We know your support history is important, and we've got it covered…

Open Cases: All your currently open support cases with Altair will be migrated to the new Siemens Support Center. There's no need to re-submit – they'll be waiting for you!

Closed Cases: For your convenience, all closed support cases created on or after June 1st, 2021, will also be migrated and accessible within the new system.

New Way to Submit Support Requests: After the transition, all new support requests must be submitted directly through the Siemens Support Center portal. We will no longer be able to accept support inquiries via email or the Altair Support Portal. This will ensure that your requests are routed efficiently and tracked effectively.

The Big Move: Get Ready for an Enhanced Support Experience!

With this move, the Siemens Support Center will be your new home for all Support Requests, Knowledge Base articles, Product Downloads, and Documentation.

We're genuinely excited about the new capabilities this will bring. Here are just a few highlights:

AI-Powered Answers: The Siemens Support Center features an intelligent AI tool that scans documentation and our extensive Knowledge Base (KB) to provide immediate, relevant answers. This means faster problem-solving and more efficient support for you.

Comprehensive Resources: Access to our Knowledge Base articles, product downloads, and documentation, all designed to help you succeed.

Support Request Tracking: A streamlined system means you'll continue to have clear visibility into the status of your support requests.

Your Resources for a Smooth Start

We want you to feel completely comfortable navigating your new support environment. To help you hit the ground running, here are some resources that will be helpful to you:

Phase 2: Altair Community and Altair Learning Transitions (to be announced)

The Altair Community and Altair Learning will not be moving at this time. Those transitions will come later and will be announced in this space.

Until announced, please continue to use the Altair Community and Altair Learning as you currently do.

FAQ:

1. Can I email my questions to no-reply@sw.siemens.com?
   A: no-repy@sw.siemens.com is an unmonitored mailbox. Please do not send any support requests to it.

Yes. Once the accounts and cases are migrated, you will be able to see both your Altair and Siemens cases in the same place. The account matching will be done based on your email address.

The Altair Marketplace as well as Managed Licensing will be appropriately rebranded, but will remain for now.
