Issue/Introduction

The Broadcom Support Site ID is a unique identifier essential for accessing Broadcom's support services. You might know it as the Support ID, Enterprise Site ID, SID, or simply Site ID. After signing or renewing a contract with Broadcom, you'll receive an Electronic Software Delivery (ESD) email from Broadcom Software Delivery. This email, sent to the Technical Contact on the contract, includes:

• Your newly created Enterprise Site ID
• Contract Number
• Other essential details for product registration and download

This guide will walk you through updating your profile with your company's Site ID. By doing so, you'll unlock access to:

• Case Management: Submit and track support cases.
• Product Downloads: Access the latest Broadcom software.
• My Entitlements: View your product licenses and entitlements.

 

Resolution

Effective 08/29/2024 In the event a particular site ID has no users registered, when the first site access request to this site ID is APPROVED, the requester will also be auto-granted the User Administrator & Product Administrator role.

Existing users

If you have an existing profile on the Broadcom Support Portal, you can add additional Site IDs as needed.

New users

If you are a new, basic user or do not have an existing Enterprise profile on the Broadcom Support Portal, you can build your profile to expand access to services as follows:

1. Go to the Broadcom Support Portal at https://support.broadcom.com/.
2. In the upper-right corner, do one of the following:
   1. Existing User: Click Login.
   2. New User: Click Register. Enter your email address, and upon receiving the verification code in the email, enter the code when requested. Next, complete the registration process.
3. Once logged in, in the left panel, click My Dashboard, and then click Build your Profile. Or, in the upper-right navigation, click the drop-down under your name, and then select My Profile.
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. Click Yes, I want to Build my Profile.
   
   
   
   Note: User logged in as a Basic User using a non-corporate email address (like Gmail, yahoo, etc.) attempts to click the “Yes, I want to Build my Profile” gets the error message: "This option is not available to users who have registered with a non-corporate email domain" on the bottom left side of the screen 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. Select the appropriate boxes to access the products under your Site IDs.
   
   
   
   
   
6. To access Broadcom Software (Enterprise, Mainframe, Symantec, Payment security & VMware), select that checkbox, enter the Site ID and contact number, and then verify the site ID.
   
   Note: If you don't know the Site ID, learn how to request your Site ID.
   
   
   
7. If the Site ID matches Broadcom records, a confirmation notice will appear on the screen. If a match is not found, you will be given 2 more attempts to enter a valid Site ID. If you exceed 3 attempts with an incorrect or invalid Site ID, your account will be locked.
   
   
   
   
8. Click Submit once the Site ID is validated. You will be asked to review and verify the details before confirming.
   
   
   
   
9. After submitting the request, you will see the message notification "Thank you for upgrading!", and an automated email will be sent to your registered email address.
   
   
   
10. The request will be sent either to your current Site ID administrator, or, if an administrator does not exist, the request is sent to Broadcom Customer Care, who will typically process the request within 24 hours.
