ITC handles the contract and licensing of the software and any administrative matters with ESRI. Questions or concerns about ESRI administrative matters, software distribution, etc. should be e-mailed to UVa-ESRI.
Technical support and assistance is primarily handled by Geospatial and Statistical Data Center, Alderman Library (Michael Furlough, Director). The most efficient way to handle most trouble calls is to e-mail ESRI-Consult with as much detail on the problem as possible including all the steps you use and error messages received or other aids in debugging. If the question cannot be solved locally, they can then send your information to ESRI and have them contact you directly. The goal is to get as much documentation as possible of the problem.
