In my previous
Experts Exchange Articles, most have featured Basic and Intermediate VMware and Virtualisation Topics.
If you would like to read my Basic VMware articles, they are listed at the end of this article for your convenience.
In this article, I’m going to take time out from writing a Basic VMware Article, and show you
HOW TO: Create a VMware vCloud Air Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand and receive $1000 free service credits.
I previously wrote an Experts Exchange article
HOW TO: Create a Windows Azure Free Trial subscription, so it was time to create a new article for VMware's new service, VMware vCloud Air, which was formerly known as VMware vCloud Hybrid Service (vCHS). I've created this article, because I think VMware have made this process more complicated than it should be!

This is where the confusion lies, your *MUST* already have an Active
MyVMware account. If you already have VMware licenses or evaluation products you already have a
MyVMware account.
I have written an Experts Exchange article here, which shows how to register for a MyVMware Account
