Plan and Design: Getting Started

Step 1: Get a VeriSign ID.

In order to participate in the Windows Logo Program, you must get a Verisign ID. The Windows Logo Program uses VeriSign to authenticate its partners. You need the VeriSign ID to create a Winqual account. We recommend that you begin the process of obtaining an account early so that you do not run into scheduling issues later.

Steps 2: Sign up for a Winqual account.

The Windows Quality Online Services (Winqual) Web site enables you to qualify hardware devices, software applications, and Web services for the Windows Logo Program. You must establish a Winqual account for your company in order to participate in the Windows Logo Program.
