How to Prepare for the Change
An IBM ID is required to gain access to IBM’s Support Site. Follow these instructions to create your IBM ID and register for the IBM Support Site.
1. Create an IBM ID:
- Access to the IBM Support Site requires an IBM ID. We encourage you to create your IBM ID as soon as possible.
- Please use the same email address that is registered in the HashiCorp Support Portal for your IBM ID. This ensures your account is associated with your migrated support cases.
- Your IBM ID will also give you access to Fix Central (to find fixes & updates to your software) and Passport Advantage (to download software, renew licenses and more).
2. Register with the IBM Support Site:
- You may register with the IBM Support Site beginning March 28, 2026, 5am US Pacific Daylight Time.
- Creating an account on IBM’s Support Site will grant you access to open new cases with HashiCorp via the IBM Support Portal, as well as view previous cases.
3. Access IBM’s Support Portal to create or view a case:
- Once you have registered and logged into the IBM Support Portal, you will gain access to your existing cases and be able to open new ones.
- If you are designated as your company’s Support Administrator, you can follow these instructions to add users to your account.
- If you are a Basic User, you can find out who your administrator is in the Support Portal by navigating to the “Manage Support Account” section on the top menu and clicking on “Support Access.”
