There are two ways to activate a journal subscription depending on whether it is for an individual, or an organisation.

For organisational subscriptions 

To activate a subscription you must be the Administrator of the organisation.  You will also need a subscription number which should be a 10 digit number.   

• Log-In to Cambridge Core
• Click on My Account in the top right-hand corner
• Under the Organisation Home section on the left-hand side select the Activate Subscription option
• Enter the subscription number into the "Activate journal subscription" and click Activate
• The subscription will activate and the content will be available. 
• If you receive a message that the subscription number is invalid or activation is not successful, then check your content access. The subscription number may already have been activated.

For individual subscriptions

• In your account area, select “My content”. 
• In the “Activate journal subscription” field, enter your 10-digit subscription number and click Activate
