Ordering the "vCloud Director" Service

To start using the vCloud Director service, order a Subscription.

For the general description of the procedure, see Buy subscription in the Customer Control Panel Guide. The vCloud Director service has the following specifics:

  • Ordering a Subscription to the vCloud Director service has an additional step to create the administrator password. It is important to save the password because it is required to access the vCloud Director Control Panel.
  • For a trial Subscription, on the vCloud Director side, the user will be created as deactivated by default. A Manager should manually activate the user. The user of a trial Subscription is activated automatically only when the customer switches to a commercial Plan.
  • For a Subscription with the Pay as you go model, the Resource configuration step is skipped, and the total amount of the Order is equal to 0.


After the Subscription is activated, the vCloud Director Entry Point becomes available (see also Работа со списком Услуг in the Customer Control Panel Guide). Use the Entry Point menu to manage the Subscription (see Managing a "vCloud Director" Subscription). The vCloud Director Control Panel URL and username are displayed in the Information section (see vCloud Director. "Information" section).
