NOTES:
- Customer Access - A serial number with a valid Brocade Direct Support Contract is required for Customer Access. Processing may take up to 24 business hours.
- OEM End Users - If your serial number is under support through an authorized OEM, "Customer Access" is not available through the Brocade Support Portal. Please select "Tool Access Only" for Licensing, Reporting and Education.
- To Avoid Delays and Expedite Processing - We strongly recommend registering using your corporate email domain and an entitled serial number. Once registered, you can begin using your Broadcom Support online account.
- Shared Email Aliases - Our company security policy is to not allow upgraded "Customer Access" to shared email aliases. Please register with your named company issued email address (i.e. first name.last name).
- note: there is an exception if the shared alias is to be used for BSL auto case creation purposes only. Shared email aliases will only be approved if another 'named' user under the same domain is approved for Customer Access.
- Public Hosted Email Domains - Our company security policy is to not allow general public hosted email aliases for upgrading (i.e. @gmail.com, @hotmail, ect…). A valid company domain and passing Global Trade Compliance is required.
