Subscribing to a Digital Editions service
Websites may offer Digital Edition subscriptions, which allow you to download Digital 
Editions as periodicals--that is, as a set of documents or issues, each of which has an issue 
date. A Digital Edition subscription has a start date and an end date, and you may 
download any issue after the start date if the current date is earlier than the end date. 
When you register to receive a subscription, you receive a first issue. You download this 
issue in the same way you download any other Digital Edition. Activation of Adobe 
Reader is required. (See 
.) The subscription issue appears in the 
My Digital Editions bookshelf and has a subscription icon on the issue icon. You can read 
and store issues and exercise any subscription features on any computer activated with the 
same ID.
To specify how to check for new issues:
1.  Click the Subscription icon on the thumbnail of the Digital Edition issue in the My Digital 
Editions bookshelf.
2.  Do any of the following:
●     
Select Check Over The Network Every, and enter a number in the Days box to specify 
how often to automatically check for new issues. Checking and downloading of issues 
occurs in the background when Adobe Reader is running.
●     
Select Display A Message to open a dialog box from which you can download available 
issues immediately.
●     
Select Mark The Digital Edition Thumbnail Only to highlight the Subscription icon in 
yellow whenever a new issue is available.
To check for new issues manually:
1.  Click the Subscription icon on the thumbnail of the Digital Edition issue in the My Digital 
Editions bookshelf.
2.  Click the Check For New Issues button in the Subscription Preferences dialog box.
3.  In the New Issues Available dialog box, click Yes if you want to download a new issue. 
The issue opens automatically after it has downloaded. If you click No, you are asked if 
you want the option to download issues in the future. If you click No again, the issue is 
marked as Refused and is no longer available to you.
To renew or cancel a subscription:
Click the Subscription icon on the thumbnail of the Digital Edition issue in the My Digital 
Editions bookshelf, and click the Visit Subscription Website button in the Subscription 
Preferences dialog box.
