Resolution

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 PAC that is activated through the registration process through a VMware owned self-service Partner Activation Portal. A VMware License Activation Code/serial number is a unique code that is released when a customer successfully registers the PAC in the Partner Activation Portal.
 
The PAC is for single use. After registration, you will not need it again in the future.
 
The VMware License Redemption Portal is a self-service portal for customers to redeem VMware OEM licenses.
