Re: CCO questions [7:11275]
It depends who you are and who you work for, each CCO login can have a different profile for access to different areas such as bugsearch tools, upgrade planners, field notices, online forums, technical documents, case studies...the list goes on. Cisco are generally quite nice if you have a genuine reason to have your CCO access upgraded they can change it for you quickly. --- Donald B Johnson jr wrote: Besides the software what does a login to CCO get you, which public access doesn't? - Original Message - From: Michael L.

Hi Chuck, Surprised to hear that a Gold partner doesn't have access to IOS or TAC case support. What's the reason for that? Is that a decision within your company controlling who does what or from Cisco. Sorry - I don't know what your role is in the company. I take it there are groups of people within your company with this access. I also work for a Gold Partner in post-sales support. We sort of take the access we have for granted.

Don't mean to dispute your opinion, but (I have to point to my brother-in-law again) he received his CCO login after completing CCNP/DP earlier this year. can't say which, but it's obviously not reserved for CCIE as he's not even taken the written yet nor did he apply for it.. it just arrived via e-mail at some point after he completed NP/DP.

Re: CCO questions [7:11275]
Mike, Well, like what has happened before - sometimes things get changed as an explanation/story is passed down. I've been on CCO for a few years now, I'm a Premier Partner and deal with the ccoteam now and then concerning CCO logins as well as my personal experience with the very much changed Cisco Consultant Program. All I can suggest is to try and get as accurate a discription from your brother-in-law as possible of how he got his CCO account. Is he employed by a Cisco Partner/Reseller? I have registered employees for my company account. I enter in their name with my company credentials. When the account is created, the new account holder gets an email from ccoteam confirming that a login has been created for them. They don't initiate the process because I have to enter a special key to complete the account. I'm sure if you find out that he got it just for getting CCNP/CCDP that a whole lot of people on this list will want to know how. Kevin Wigle CCDP / CCNP / CSE (other non Cisco stuff.)

RE: CCO questions [7:11275]
Unfortunately, having a reseller/partner account does not grant you the permissions to download software such as IOS, PIX OS, CAT OS, etc. Now, I'm not saying that you absolutely can't get these rights with this account, but it's not the default. According to Cisco, if you're a reseller/partner, the way to download software is to use the customer's account that was setup with their SmartNet contract or a special download access code provided by TAC. --- Rik Guyler -Original Message- From: Sam Deckert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, July 08, 2001 1:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: CCO questions [7:11275] Hey all Does anyone know what is involved for a Cisco Authorised Reseller to obtain access to download router images etc from CCO?

RE: CCO questions [7:11275]
As far as the CCO Get Login question, to review the requirements or get forms, you have to login to CCO! Then, to add insult to injury when I just shrugged and said forget it and clicked the get login button, the javascript flatlines! Oh well. -P.Kil.

Re: CCO questions [7:11275]
from various posts.. Quite often rumours are based in fact (like at one time needing CCNA to get CCDA... :-) ) 1.You do not get a CCO login account from CCNP/CCDP status. 2.The consultant program used to give you a CCO login, I got one when I registered for the Consultant program on 2 April 1999. However, the program has changed and is now completely web based. You can find it here: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/765/partner_programs/consultant/ 3.An authorized Reseller or Partner can register their employess for a CCO login. However, this does not get you download capabilities. 4.If a Reseller/Partner requests that a name be removed from their account, the person removed will retain Guest status. I think it is for a limited time - I'm not sure. When I requested that an employee that left my company be taken off our account the CCO team member told me this. 5.To download images your CCO login has to be associated with a maintenance contract. My company account gets me to expanded information and Cisco company information but it doesn't allow me to download software. Another login I have with a client I have has me listed on their smartnet and with that account I can download software. 6.Someone wrote that the Get Login bombed on them I just tried it, got to the form and I did everything except push the last submit (because I have 2 accounts). Looked good up to that point.

RE: CCO questions [7:11275]
gotta wonder how these rumors get started. does the consultant's program still exist? and do you still get anything from it? I haven't seen the quarterly goody bag in almost a year.

RE: CCO questions [7:11275]
I don't know if this will work, but it's worth mentioning The new partner application requires you to have CCO login. If you don't have a login, you can't complete the application. At the bottom of the application page is a get login button. I haven't tried this, but you may be able to fill out the information and obtain very basic CCO access. The page is http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/765/partner_programs/apply/ If anyone uses this to obtain CCO access, let me know. I'm curious if it works. Craig At 10:39 PM 7/7/2001 -0400, you wrote: easiest way is to buy a single smartnet contract for one of your routers. :- I am unaware of Cisco providing CCO login just because you are a CCNP. I believe but am not certain that a CCO account is one of the CCIE privileges. At one time I had decent access because I was a member of the consultant's program, but Cisco seems to have let that one fall by the wayside. As an employee in good standing of a Cisco partner, I do have a CCO account. But I am not permitted to open TAC cases.

RE: CCO questions [7:11275]
Come to think of it, I haven't received anything for awhile either but to be honest, haven't really missed it as I too work for a partner. It may no longer be active but it would be worth it for the listers that don't work for a partner to check it out. I have heard of a CCO guest account. I don't know what it gets you but it exists. Before anybody asks, I don't have a clue how to get it, what it gets you, etc. I just know it's available. How do these things get started...? ;-} --- Rik Guyler -Original Message- From: Chuck Larrieu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, July 07, 2001 11:06 PM To: Subject: RE: CCO questions [7:11275] gotta wonder how these rumors get started. does the consultant's program still exist? and do you still get anything from it?
