How to Install HPE Foundation Care Software Support
Unlike a traditional software installation, HPE Foundation Care Software Support is a service enrollment that activates your coverage rather than a physical installation. To begin, coordinate with your HPE account representative or use the Foundation Care enrollment portal to register the Aruba products and software environments covered under the plan. You will typically need the following information:
- Proof of purchase for the Aruba products and software licenses to be covered
- Current Aruba model families or product numbers included in the agreement
- Serial numbers or asset IDs for the systems running the Aruba software
- Preferred start date for coverage activation and any existing support contracts that should be coordinated
Once enrollment is processed, you will receive confirmation of activation and any service credentials necessary to access the 24x7 support channels. After activation, the Foundation Care service becomes the primary avenue for software-related inquiries, incident reporting, and updates. The enrollment process may also involve reviewing known issues and recommended upgrade paths to align with your deployment’s lifecycle milestones. It is advisable to align coverage with major software upgrades, security patches, and configuration reviews to maximize return on investment and system resilience.
During a live incident, simply reach out through the dedicated 24x7 phone line and provide your service contract reference number along with relevant Aruba software details. The support team will guide you through initial triage, capture essential diagnostics, and coordinate the most effective remediation plan with Aruba-certified engineers. For proactive benefits, you’ll also receive access to software release notes, upgrade advisories, and best-practice documentation designed to minimize risk during changes and ensure stable operation across your Aruba network.
