Getting Started > Using the Software Update Service (SUS)

Authenticating an Existing SSO Account and Configuring the SUS

To get the full benefit of the Software Update Service, your SSO account must be authenticated and associated with your account number/CustomerID. If you created an SSO account for a service that does not require an account number or if you did not know your account ID at the time you created your SSO account, your SSO account is not authenticated.

• You will receive only critical updates to your software until you authenticate your SSO account.

To authenticate an existing SSO account and configure the SUS:

1. Right-click the triangle logo and select Configure Update Service. The Software Update Service — Configure the Software Update Service window is displayed. Note the [Authenticate] notation in the Account No. section.

• If you have multiple accounts, select an account from the list.

2. Click Authenticate Account. The Software Update Service — Authenticate Account window is displayed.

3. Type your account number/CustomerID and your zip code, and click Authenticate. The Software Update Service — Account Details Accepted window is displayed.

4. Click OK.
