Invite Customer to Portal

The customer portal allows your customers to manage all assigned licenses i.e. licenses issued to the customer in the Software Potential service.

Once you have created a Customer you can invite the customer to create a portal account. When you invite your customer to register for a portal account the customer is sent an email that contains a link to a registration page. The customer has 24 hrs within which to complete the registration process, after which the invitation expires.
