Gold Technical Support Handbook
Getting Started
As a new customer, you may wish to print this guide and forward it to any colleagues who might require support under your
support contract.
Grant Number
Your McAfee Gold Technical Support Grant Number is your proof of a valid support contract. Keep it in a safe place. If you
lose your Grant Number, it may take significantly longer when contacting support or submitting a Service Request online.
NOTE:
It is a violation of your McAfee contract to install software on more nodes or appliances that are covered by your Grant
Number.
