Activating Identity Manager

After you purchase NCL, Novell Product Delivery sends you an e-mail that contains a URL to the Novell Electronic Product Delivery site where you can obtain a generic credential. If you do not receive your email, call the Novell Activation Center at 1-800-418-8373 in the U.S. In all other locations, call 1-801-861-8373. (You will be charged for calls made using the 801 area code.)
