Customer Onboarding Process
The customer signs a sales order with Evolve IP
A kick-off call is scheduled:
Evolve IP provides a presentation to the customer
The customer provides Evolve IP a list of software and keys needed for their environment
Evolve IP verifies the customer's core count (total ESXi core count shown in all vCenter servers)
The customer tears down old usage meters (if present)
Evolve IP provides the steps to install new instances of Usage Meter v4.8
Using the steps provided by Evolve IP, the customer installs an instance of Usage Meter in their environment
During the installation, the customer provides the UUID from the Usage Meter installation process, and waits for Evolve IP to perform the Broadcom registration
Evolve IP uses the UUID to register the instance of Usage Meter in the Broadcom portal
Once registered, the customer finishes the Usage Meter install
The customer adds all vCenter servers to their instance of Usage Meter
Evolve IP generates keys and provides them to the customer along with any software downloads
The customer swaps their keys and notifies Evolve IP when completed
