If you cannot locate your Contract ID or encounter a problem during registration, submit a request to Customer_Care@bmc.com, using your company email address. Include Support Contract ID in the subject line. Provide your name and your company's name (including alternative names that might apply to your company—for example, due to a name change or acquisitions in recent years).
