he/she will need to provide PPI Order ID on submitting each new e-mail request.
System will not allow him to submit the form until valid PPI is provided. The pop-up message
below will appear with the offer to buy the new PPI license.

If OEM Vendor purchased any Support Program, he/she will not need to provide any serial number on submitting new requests. The entitlement will be checked in the
background and the submission form will not have field for PPI.
