A 12 months subscription is available for 3 types of licences: 1) Single User. 2) 5 users. 3) Unlimited Users. More information on the subscription plans can be viewed by downloading the Order Form.

What type of access do I get with a current subscription?

You get 12 months online access to the full online newspaper archive from 2006 onwards (2006-onwards) starting from the day your payment has been processed. The online archive contains all the editorial and photographic material that appeared in the printed version of the paper. This includes all the sections, all the news, all the sport and all the regular features. Please note that Magazine format publications such as the Good Weekend are not included. Also Fairfax reserves the right to omit material from the online edition in the event that a legal liability may result from the electronic distribution of such material.

What is required to activate the access?

Once your order form has been received by us, it will be processed and a Tax Invoice will be sent to you. As soon as payment is received and processed, your access will be activated and you will be notified..

Is it possible to set up an automatic login?

If you require an automatic login, a custom link with your readername and password and/or online form will be generated for you. This direct access link can be added to your local network portal such as an Intranet or internal website.
Alternatively you can be automatically authenticated by your network IP address. You will need to find out from your Network Administrator what your external IP address is and then supply it to us on the orderform.
Please note that some schools connect to the internet via a shared education network proxy server. This makes it impossible to uniquely identify your local school network and unfortunately in this case an automatic login function cannot be set up.

How do I read the articles on the page, as the type is too small?

This is usual: You need to click on the article to bring it up in the article viewer. Treat the page view as a graphical index to the stories on that page. To read articles or advertisements, move the mouse over the article, and then click to load the requested item.

Is remote user access allowed?

Yes, it is allowed but you will need to speak to your IT Department in order to organize a remote user access.

Can I print the digital edition pages and articles?

Yes for personal use only. There is a new print to scale feature which allows the printing of any article onto a single page as well as the ability to print the full page.
