We already raised with the vmware support team.. here is the email discussion:
Hello Rengarajan,
As discussed, since SDK entitlement is not part your account you can post this issue on our communities link.
I will proceed with archiving the SR if you have no further questions.
Thank you for choosing VMware Products.
