Axeda Technical Support Integration Update

As of 31-AUG-2015, PTC Technical Support's business systems have been extended to incorporate Axeda products. This page has been created to help guide Axeda customers and partners through the entitlements and features of the PTC support system. Support for Axeda products will continue to be provided by the same world-class team, per PTC Maintenance Terms and Conditions.

To access many of the tools on the PTC Customer Portal, you will need a PTC Support Account.

For your convenience, we have migrated Axeda support accounts to PTC Support Accounts for all active Axeda customers. Log in on the PTC eSupport Portal using your email address as the username. To change your password or review your PTC support account settings go to the Account Management page. Once logged in, you will have full access to PTC's online support tools.

If your account was not migrated you may create a new PTC Support Account here: PTC Online Account creation page. When creating the account, make sure to complete the Customer Information section, you must provide your new PTC Customer Number and Service Contract Number. These can be found in your Customer Transition Letter emailed to you on 31-AUG-2015
