What is Lifetime Access?

Effective June 15th, 2021, items purchased via the VitalSource store with perpetual licenses will have a duration of five years for online access (up from one year of access). This duration is also retroactive for store users who have purchased titles with perpetual licenses since 2016.

Once your online access has ended the perpetual download license enables you to continuously access the eTextbook offline through our free Bookshelf application even after the online license expires.

To download your digital material, please click the link below and install an applicable version of the application for the device you are using.
