How to Get Technical Support

Signing up for Technical Support

To sign up for technical support, you must:

1. Create a customer profile at:

   http://www.redhat.com/apps/activate/

   You may have already completed this step; if you have, continue to the next step.

2. Using the login name and password you created during the customer profile, please log in at the Red Hat Support website at:

   http://www.redhat.com/support

   If you created a new customer profile, once you activate your product you will see a webpage that shows your registered products. There is also a button, Access Web Support, on this page that will take you to the support website.

3. Update your contact information if necessary.

   	Note
   	If your email address is not correct, communications regarding your technical support requests CANNOT be delivered to you, and you will not be able to retrieve your login and password by email. Be sure that you give us your correct email address.

   If you are worried about your privacy, please see Red Hat's privacy statement at:

4. Add a product to your profile. Please enter the following information:

   • The Product ID for your boxed set product

   • The Support Certificate Number or Entitlement Number if the product is a contract

5. Set your customer preferences.

6. Answer the optional customer questionnaire.

7. Submit the form.

If the previous steps were completed successfully, you can now login at

http://www.redhat.com/support

and open a new technical service request. However, you must still use your Product ID in order to obtain technical support via telephone (if the product you purchased came with phone support). You will also be asked for your login name when contacting the technical support team via telephone.
