Resolution

To find your license number, login to your Broadcom support portal at https://support.broadcom.com. You will be required to login to the portal.

The license numbers above are samples only and not actual license numbers.

Standalone Client Licenses:

If you have an entitlement for the PGP client, you may see only one license number, such as the following sample:
