We subscribe to Practical Law AU and I have created a new online user in My Account. They should have complimentary access to relevant subscriptions on Westlaw AU. Why is the new online user unable to access this content on Westlaw AU?

If you subscribe to Practical Law and create a new online user in My Account, you will need to remember to add the new online user to the corresponding subscriptions on Westlaw AU. The new online user will then have two registration keys: one to Practical Law and one to Westlaw AU.

Why does the total number of users in My Account differ from the total number of users in the usage report I have received from my Account Manager?

My Account does not display internal Thomson Reuters online users that exist for testing or training purposes. These internal online users may be visible in your usage reports.

What does partially registered mean?

Partially registered means that the online user still has outstanding registration keys available for activation. For example, if the online user has been provided with access to Westlaw AU and Practical Law, but has only activated their registration key for Westlaw AU, My Account will highlight that they are only partially registered.

I can no longer see an online user’s registration key in My Account. Why?

Registration keys are no longer visible in full once they have been activated. This is because they have been used and are no longer valid for activation.
