If you have a question about the Pervasive web site, their trial download or the patch installation, we recommend contacting Pervasive Software directly by calling 800-BTRIEVE (800-287-4383), selecting options 2, 2, and speaking with someone in the inbound call center. (International users should find the closest contact point from Pervasive's web site.)
