Create a user profile

To download product software, you will need to create a user profile on the SolarWinds Customer Portal.

Users with multiple SWIDs require only one user profile. You can link your user profile to multiple SWIDs.

  1. Obtain the login credentials for the Customer Portal.

    If you are a SolarWinds customer but do not have a SWID, contact SolarWinds Customer Support.

  2. Go to customerportal.solarwinds.com.
  3. Click Register.

  4. Enter your organization's email address and SWID, and then click Register.

    If you have multiple SWIDs, enter any SWID to create your profile. Later, use the User Profile menu to link the other SWIDs to your profile.

    The account administrator will review the request, and you will receive an email when it is approved.
