Partner Registration of Fixed Support Services
• Within the Partner Ready Services Delivery program, if the partner wants to deliver on the fixed support services and
be the preferred service provider (PSP), the partner must follow the steps outlined in this document.
• Hewlett Packard Enterprise will provide you with one unique Hewlett Packard Enterprise Channel Services Network
(CSN) fixed support services user ID (CSN user ID) to use for fixed support services registrations and management.
Note
Retain your original CSN user ID. The unique user ID provided to you for registration is
specific for this process.
• To be assigned as Preferred Service Provider (PSP), you need to complete your registration in CSN via your
account. Please note that you cannot complete the registration via a “please register” email because this does not
allow PSP to be selected.
• When ordering fixed support services, ensure that the distributors assign every fixed support services order to your
CSN account, whether you intend to be the PSP or not. Provide your unique CSN user ID, which can be used for this
assignment on the fixed support services order.*
• Having all fixed support services assigned to your account ensures that you will have visibility to your orders and
ability to track renewal opportunities even if you are not the PSP.
• When you have had a distributor assign an order to your account, you will be able to search for it and register it on
the Hewlett Packard Enterprise CSN fixed support services tool. If you are unable to locate an order and have
received no other notices about the status of the order, please contact the distributor.
• 100 percent registration of the fixed support services you sell is required.
• Your location must register fixed support services within 10 days of placing the order.
• Registration of fixed support services can be performed one time only. Have all registration information
ready to ensure that your registration is completed correctly.
• Some Hewlett Packard Enterprise authorized distributors offer to register the fixed support services for you.
You are still responsible for ensuring that the registration of the fixed support services is completed
successfully.
• You may only register yourself as the PSP on fixed support services eligible for this program.
• You may only register your company as the PSP on fixed support services you sell if you can and will fully meet the
customer’s support needs; this includes but is not limited to 24x7 support, 6-hour Call to Repair (CTR), and HPE
Proactive Care Services.
• In order to profit from all benefits, it is critical that you take the first call from your end customer in break-and-fix (B&F)
situations.
– You may aid this by providing customers with detailed instructions and indicating correct names/contact numbers
upon sale of the Hewlett Packard Enterprise product, so the customer understands how and where to obtain
service.

• If the customer calls Hewlett Packard Enterprise instead of you incidentally, the Hewlett Packard Enterprise call
center agent will reroute all identified PSP customer calls directly back to you.
– This rerouting process works and relies on the properly set up Hewlett Packard Enterprise WW CSN case
management tool. Country implementation may vary.
• Only customer contact information or product location information can be modified after registration is complete.
• Your location will receive non-event payments for fixed support services registrations where you are listed as the
PSP.
– Country implementation may vary.
• The non-event based payment is predicated on your full commitment to provide end-to-end support to the customer
on behalf of Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
• If no PSP is selected during the registration, the Hewlett Packard Enterprise fixed support services is flagged with the
default PSP (which is either Hewlett Packard Enterprise or a country default PSP), please contact your fixed support
services administrator for details when required.*
Terminology
• Orders are assigned (by either Hewlett Packard Enterprise or a distributor) to your company’s unique CSN ID.
• Fixed support services are registered as Hewlett Packard Enterprise delivered or as PSP delivered.
• CSN user ID is a unique per partner user ID that permits access to the CSN fixed support services registration
website (must be provided by the partner to the distributor to ensure proper assignment).
• PSP ID is a preferred service provider ID that is a unique identifier used for registering fixed support services as
partner deliverable by that partner.
Registering Fixed Support Services with a PSP ID
To begin, once an order has been assigned to your account, you will receive an email notification.

Note
If a gray checkmark already appears in the box, it means that the fixed support services

contact Hewlett Packard Enterprise to have this corrected.

Provider field.

B. You must complete the PSP selection on a registration in which you desire to be the Preferred Service
Provider for the fixed support services. If you want the fixed support services to be Hewlett Packard

If you do not see an option to select your company as the PSP, yet you are certain that the distributor has assigned the
fixed support services to you correctly, and you are certain that the fixed support services is eligible, do not complete
the registration. Contact your partner service delivery manager (PSDM) or fixed support services Admin team (for

A. Get Registration Report in excel format: This allows you to pull a report of “registered” fixed support services
within a date range (maximum 45 days). So if you have purchased 1,000 fixed support services in one month and
only 500 have been registered, only 500 fixed support services will appear on the sheet.
B. Get Orders Detail Report in excel format: This allows you to pull a report of all orders you have placed within the
date range specified. This report will also show the fixed support services order “status”. If the “status” is complete,
the order has been fully registered. If the order “status” is incomplete, the order has not been fully registered. Please
take immediate action to complete the registration.
C. Get the sales orders placed within a Date Range and/or by the P.O. Number: This allows you to pull up orders
for a certain time period. This will show both registered and unregistered orders. The date range should be limited to
15 days. You can also provide a P.O. number to search a specific order.
D. Perform an inquiry on the Sales Order Number: This allows you to pull up the individual order details by the CSN
Reference Order Number (AM#/AP#/EM#).
E. Find the registration information based on Serial Number: This allows you to look up the status of specific fixed
support services based on the product serial number. If the item is unregistered, a message will pop-up indicating
this. Please take immediate action to complete the registration.
F. Get the registration information based on Care Pack Serial Number: This allows you to look up the status of
fixed support services by using the fixed support services serial number. If the item is unregistered, it will show you
that it is not registered. Please take immediate action to complete the registration.

How to troubleshoot common issues
If you cannot select your company in the PSP drop-down, it can be for the following reasons:
• You have used the link in the “please register” email to complete the registration. This link is non-authenticated and
will not allow PSP selection. You need to log in to CSN with your own user ID and password, retrieve the order, and
register it there.
• The specific fixed support services part number is not added to your PSP accreditation list. This may be because it
was determined that you would not provide support for this level of service or the fixed support services part number
was simply omitted. Contact your Hewlett Packard Enterprise PSDM.
• Your CSN user ID does not have the PSP functionality enabled. In this case, the Preferred Service Provider field is
not available. Please contact your Hewlett Packard Enterprise fixed support services administrator.*
If you cannot retrieve this order when logged on to your CSN account:
• Ensure that you are using the exact information used when the order was created (Example: the exact PO number,
Order Reference Number, etc.). You can also search the order by a date range.
• If this order was purchased through a distributor, contact the distributor to ensure they have assigned this order to
your CSN account.
If you encounter any other issues, please contact your partner service delivery manager or Hewlett Packard Enterprise
fixed support services administrator.*
