Redeeming a VitalSource Redemption Code
You will have been provided with a 12 or 20-character registration code.
If you have a VitalSource Bookshelf account, you can redeem your VitalSource Redemption Code from your Bookshelf account. If you do not have an account, you can create a Bookshelf account by selecting the following link.
*** Please keep in mind that VitalSource codes are one-time-use and not transferrable or shareable. If you have purchased or been issued multiple codes you will need to distribute these to the individuals who need access, and each individual will need to redeem one code to their own VitalSource account. ***
