Hi Wilson,

Welcome to the forum.

I see that you have shared an escalation number. Unfortunately, product management cannot review escalations, as these are handled by our support management team.

I checked your email address in our support portal and found two closed cases related to your issue. Both cases were for our free product offering. Please note that support for free products is provided on a best-effort basis, and a response from our support team is not guaranteed. This is why both cases were closed. If you require guaranteed support, you will need to have an active maintenance contract or an active subscription license.

Since you have an escalation number, I recommend continuing to work with our support management team to resolve your escalation, as product management cannot assist with troubleshooting technical issues. Please note that this forum is not intended as an alternative support channel for technical issues (forum policy).

Best regards,
Fabian
