Issue/Introduction
A common issue for Symantec Customers is submitting a case for products that may be similar in naming convention, but are different security solutions, such as Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) VS Symantec Endpoint Encryption.
This can be confusing to know how to log the support case.
To ensure you log the case in the product proper queue and avoid potential delays, this article will provide some guidance on how to log a case with Symantec Security products.
Prerequisites before you can log a support case through the portal:
*Create a Support Account at the online portal. Go to support.broadcom.com, click "Login" on the top-right of the screen and either login or register.
Once you create your Broadcom support account, you will need your Site ID for the product you need help with.
*Associate your Site ID for your support contract with your account. Once you have created your account and have a Site ID for your contract, associate that to your support account.
See the following article for information on this, either obtaining the Site ID or adding it to your account:

Note: If the case management page does not open due to popup blockers, use the following URL:

Resolution
When you go to the support.broadcom.com support portal, you'll see a "Login" option on the top-right corner of the screen. Login to this portal:
Once you login, you will see the support portal Dashboard:
Click on "My Cases" on the left side of the screen:
This will open your Case portal where you can see all your cases. In this example, no cases have ever been created.
If you have already logged cases, you'll see your list here and you can click on each case:
To open a new case, click on "Create Case" on the top-right corner of your My Cases portal:
Once you do this, you'll see the Create Case form. Fill out the form to the best of your knowledge, but the most important item here is the "Product" field.
The Product that you choose will determine which Symantec team gets the case.
Since we want to log a case for "Desktop Email Encryption (PGP Desktop, or Symantec Encryption Desktop), we'll choose this product from the list.
There are other Symantec Encryption products to choose from, so choose the one that best meets your needs.
If you need assistance with our Symantec Encryption software solutions, submit the case under "Symantec Endpoint Encryption".
If you need assistance with Symantec Encryption Management Server (SEMS - PGP Server, PGP Universal Server, PGP Encryption Desktop, or PGP products), choose Encryption Management Server, or "Gateway Email Encryption". Email.cloud is not the correct product for PGP encryption
.
