eResource Access Codes are different from VitalSource Redemption Codes;

a VitalSource Redemption Code can be associated with an eResource Access Code. When you open your Bookshelf Library and go to the title you redeem, you will be prompted if there is an eResource Access Code associated with the product associated with your Redemption Code.
