This information is sent to the person(s) in your company who purchased your BMC products. The Support Contract ID information along with the PIN/Password is located on the Order Confirmation Document and the Order Delivery Document. This information is communicated via email in .pdf format. If you cannot locate the provided documents, please email [email protected] and include your full company name and the BMC products you are using.

Temporary IDs are cased in the Order Confirmation Document and will have a limited time period for use. Temporary IDs allow immediate access to the Customer Support Portal and downloading purchased products.
