What is the purpose of this information?
To provide the basic steps for any user wanting to use a Subscription Entitlement Service (SES) product, who only needs minimum explanation to complete the registration and installation process from start to finish. It is possible that some of these initial setup steps have already been completed by your administrator. In which case, please skip to the next step.
* Please Note: This does not include alerting, users and groups, and license check-in/check-out. The detailed process is outlined here for those that may need additional instructions or want to configure these options.

For all other users, please contact your Organizations Account Administrator.
To find your Account Administrator, go to CONNECT Center and select ‘How are you CONNECTED?’

Sign in using the email address and password that was entered during the registration process.
Step 4 - Create Password
If you do not have a password, create your password by using the ‘Forgot Your Password’ option in the CONNECTION Client.
