Q: What does it mean when there is a provisioning problem with my account?
A: This means you are not yet granted access to the SupportLink portal. When a customer is added as a licensed user to a Sitefinity license, Progress Sitefinity grants SupportLink access within 48 hours. Thus, when you are granted access as a licensed user and then immediately try to log in to SupportLink, there is a chance the request for access has not been processed yet.
