so after waiting a while,
I'm trying to check entitlements and downloads and our ability to navigate the site in general.
I have our contract number, account numbers and our perpetual support end date of 2025-11-13.
I can't find any of our entitlements loaded - just a lot of other unrelated contracts for other divisions within our group that have no bearing on my specific contract.
I think, no problem, I'll try and open up a support case, but then the SSO loop begins and I end up with a pop up saying;
"Error: We could not process your request, please try later"
I'm sorry but this is unacceptable and an absolute abomination compared to the previous VMware site.
I'm really disappointed that my first interaction with the Broadcom support site has failed and this has a direct bearing on how we'll be approaching our renewal in November 2025.
thanks Ashley

We used to have a contract number of say "1234578" and when we searched for that contract number it returned nothing, After trawling through the dozens of contracts under the complete list of entitlements we found out contract being listed as "VO-12345678-R:24NOV22" . Sadly the search doesn't find contracts using the original contract number in the search.
It really isn't hard to keep the contract numbers search field the same as the original one or at-least modify the search to look at the original contract number attribute on the underlying database schema (assuming Broadcom have been clever enough to retain the original information - which I doubt). What a complete waste of time.
