Itgenacc017: why must I sign up using an email address?

Go to Dutch version

During sign up to Invantive Cloud, you must provide an email address to identify yourselves. The following error occurs when no email address is provided:

itgenacc017
Email address is required.
Provide a value.

This email address will be used both as log on code to Invantive Cloud and all products that authenticate using Invantive Cloud (such as the forums where this topic is contained).

The email address is also checked automatically to adhere to various requirements to protect your data from abuse. For instance, the email address must be a business email address and not a hotmail address, not registered as perhaps involved with scams and from a country in the service area.
