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?

    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.

    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!!  But 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:

  • 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

    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.
