To get started, click on the Sign up link at the bottom of the log in screen.
The following dialog is displayed.
Enter your Windows Client User Name (which already exists in at least one project) together with an email address and password. The Password needs to have at least 6 characters and include upper- and lower-case letters.
The Web User Password will have to be periodically (every 90 days per default, but might vary between installations).
If the registration is successful, an email will be sent to you where you can complete the registration by clicking on the confirm link in the email itself.
