How do I onboard a paid service purchased through an Omnissa Partner Seller
When you purchase a cloud service through an Omnissa partner seller, you receive an invitation email with an onboarding link directly from the seller.
This onboarding link is associated with your order and with a seller account which is unique for each Omnissa partner seller. When you apply the service subscriptions purchased through that seller to an Omnissa Cloud Services Organization, you associate the Organization with both the service and the seller.
Note: You can onboard multiple services purchased through one partner seller in a single Organization. For each partner seller from which you purchase services, you must create a separate Omnissa Cloud Services Organization. You can onboard Omnissa as a second seller in any Organization that already has one partner seller associated with it.
After the onboarding is complete, you can access information about the seller from the Billing & Subscriptions page in Cloud Services Console. Billing information for the service subscriptions is not available through Omnissa Cloud Services, you can obtain it only through the seller.
If your partner seller order contains discounts, you must have a contract code number. To apply the discounts, you must register the contract code with Cloud Services Console after the service onboarding is complete.
