Prior to creating a Service Request, you may want to review these helpful tips
- Check your Product Documentation.
- Check release notes and self-service Knowledge Base solutions on our support portal
- Consult your product’s community forum, if available.
- Try to see if the problem is reproducible.
- Check to see if the problem is isolated to one machine or more.
- Note any recent changes to your system and environment.
- Note the version of your software and environment details such as OS, database, etc.
- Note the hardware serial number of the appliance or solution (when applicable).
- Note your product license number as we require you provide your license number on certain products
- Note the issue description including frequency of occurrence, error messages and any troubleshooting activities.
- Collect any relevant screenshots, technical service reports, log files and trace logs (when applicable).
The Service Request process is explained under the Managing Service Request | Service Request Process and is detailed below.
We assign a unique service request number (in the format of "SR Number”) to all requests for assistance. These service request numbers allow us to prioritize and track all service requests through resolution, and allow you to get a status update of your service request via our support portal.
All service requests are assigned a severity level, and are placed in a queue to be processed by the next available Support Engineer. A Support Engineer takes ownership of your service request and sees it through to successful resolution.
The Support Engineer will contact you, gather any additional information needed, and will investigate to determine the proper course of action. This may require the engineer to re-create the issue, work with our development team, and help you with configuration of the software.
If the Support Engineer and development team determine that the issue is a product defect, a defect ID and priority level will be assigned to the issue. If the defect is a high priority and a hotfix is planned, the Support Engineer will notify you of its availability.
Service Requests remain open until you are satisfied that the issue has been resolved. Exceptions to this policy apply to Service Requests for product enhancements and product defects. You can also close service requests via the My Service Request section.
You can re-open Service Requests that have been closed within 30 days of the close date. If you attempt to re-open a closed service request after 30 days, a new service request is created with a link to the original Service Request. You have the ability to re-open your closed service request from the My Service Request section of the Support Portal.
Our goal is to resolve all Service Requests in a satisfactory and timely manner; however, we realize that some situations may require increased attention and focus within the Support team. You can raise the severity of a Service Request, through the online Service Request tool, or call us and request to speak with a Support Manager.
Upon your request, the Support Manager will evaluate the service request and create an action plan. If you are not satisfied with the plan or with the progress of the case after the plan has been implemented, you may contact the Director of Technical Support, who will review the service request with the Support Manager and determine if different or additional actions are required.
No, you are not required to enter a license key during Service Request creation. If a replacement hardware unit is required, the Support Engineer will request your hardware serial number at that time.
On the Support Portal files up to 1 GB may be uploaded to the Service Request. During Service Request creation, click on the “+add attachment” link. To add files after Service Request creation, go to My Service Requests and click on the Service Request hyperlink title. The Service Request opens and then click on the “+add attachment” link.
Your technical support engineer is informed of the new file added and will review and respond.
To upload files larger than 1 GB, please contact your Technical Support Engineer and request assistance in uploading a large file.
Information on Service Request Severity Levels (SLA) and Response Times are listed here
Service Requests are available for the past 2 years on the Support Portal in the “My Service Requests”. You can re-open Service Requests that have been closed within 30 days of the close date. If you attempt to re-open a closed service request after 30 days, a new service request is created with a link to the original Service Request. You have the ability to re-open your closed service request from the My Service Request section of the Support Portal.
To see all Service Requests select the Search By Filter Status and click on Select All and then click on the blue “Go Search Button.
The RMA process is very similar, your Technical Support Engineer will work with you to determine if an RMA is necessary. If a replacement unit is required, your Support Engineer will request the unit and have it shipped to your location. Once the replacement unit is setup, you will return the old unit it the box with the enclosed mailing label.
If you need a replacement mailing label, contact your Support Engineer.

If you are interested in submitting product enhancement requests, you can do so by creating a service request. Once documented, the request will be submitted into the enhancement review system and an identification number will be provided to you. Your service request will remain open until a decision has been made regarding your request.
Product Management will review the open enhancement requests on a periodic basis and consider them for inclusion in a future product release. Product enhancements will not be considered or implemented in current or prior product releases. There is no guarantee that a specific enhancement request will be implemented in a future version of our product. It is at One Identity’s discretion if a certain enhancement will be offered for an additional charge or as a chargeable option.
