How to register the Partner Activation Code (PAC)

Orders placed through VMware, or its partners, have unique identifiers associated with them. VMware products purchased through a VMware partner are identified by a VMware Partner Activation Code (PAC). This code is activated through the registration process through a VMware owned self-service Partner Activation Portal. A VMware License Activation Code or serial number is a unique code that is released when a customer registers the PAC in the Partner Activation Portal.

The PAC is for single use. After registration, you do not require it again.

The VMware License Redemption Portal is a self-service portal for customers to redeem VMware OEM licenses.

The VMware Technology Partner Hub  is available to resellers if you have questions on Registering a License purchased from Dell. If you have registered with VMware in the past, sign in as instructed. If you are new to VMware, click the "Register" button to continue.
