Order confirmationOnce you have completed your online purchase, you'll be sent an email message with your subscription dates, username, and the website where your content can be accessed. Please check your spam folder/email quarantine for the email. |
Where to log in
Please visit the website you've subscribed to. For most of our online subscription websites, users would log in on the left side of the page in the subscriber sign in fields. The personal profile in the upper right corner is a free, optional feature that you can set up separately if you choose. The personal profile does not provide access to the site, but the login fields on the left side should provide access. There are a few exceptions to this, such as https://oed.com/ which is formatted differently and does not have a login option on the left. For Blackstone's Police Q & A, do not log in on the homepage, scroll down to the page and look for the four link under "Prepare for your National Investigators' Exam" heading and follow the link that says "Go to the Q&A service", and you can enter your username and password to access. |
Start datesAll subscriptions will start on the day the order was placed. It is not possible to specify a date in the future. Simply revisit the shop on the day you wish your subscription to start. If you are renewing an existing subscription the start date will automatically apply from the end of your current subscription period. |
Username and accessAccess to individual subscriptions is via username and password. Once you have received confirmation of your purchase, you can use your username and password to access your subscription from any suitable computer or mobile device where there is access to the internet. |
Reset passwordThere are several ways to reset your password.
If neither of these options work for you, please visit this forgot password page and enter your email address to receive an email to reset your password. |
