Support request logic absurdity

When I email support@teamviewer.com to say I cannot log in to the TeamViewer management console, I get an automated reply:

---
We are continuously working to optimize the way we handle your requests.

Which is why we have discontinued the usage of the support email address: support@teamviewer.com We now have a form on our website, solely dedicated to handling all your requests: www.teamviewer.com/support Please use this form for any future request to TeamViewer.

However, in order to submit a support request at that page, I have first to log in to the TeamViewer managment console before I can raise a support request.

How utterly stupid, and furiously frustrating, is that?

Josh,

Thank you for your response. PM sent.

Hello @Tim-L,

Thank you for the clarification.

As only licensed accounts can access the support portal and create tickets, and you are unable to access said account, I can create a ticket for you with our support team.

Please PM the invoice and contact information, so we may forward the request and create a ticket on your behalf.

Thanks in advance.

Clearly Teamviewer support does not want you to connect with them as i followed the instructions here and I just go in a loop back to community

I can only assume you did not read all of my original post.

I said the reason I am wanting to raise a support request is because I am unable to log in to the management console!! My issue is that I cannot raise a support request other than by logging into the management console. Is that explanation too difficult to understand?

When I try to log in to the management console I get:

No email ever arrives (and, yes, I have checked my junk/spam folder).

As per my second post, my TeamViewer account has been licensed since early 2009.

To add to my displeasure about not being able to use TeamViewer for something urgent today, I got a pop-up survey after posting the above, asking me whether I thought I might buy TeamViewer licensing!

My company has been a TeamViewer customer since early 2009, but I can say with certainty that TeamViewer GmbH will not be receiving another red cent from us.
