What is the difference between a registered user and a subscriber?

A subscriber pays an annual subscription that provides access to the full website - plus delivery of a printed magazine.
A registered user can sign up for free e-newsletters and access only limited areas and content on the website.

When do I need to log in?

You need to log in to view most full-text articles.

We suggest that each time you use the website, you log in immediately on the homepage using the link at the top right, under the navigation bar.  This will make it easier for you to access all articles quickly and easily as you navigate through the site.   

Alternatively, when you click on a subscriber-only link, you will be asked to log in.

I am being asked for my subscriber number. How do I find it?

Your subscriber number is a 10 digit number that is used to identify both you and your subscription.  It can be found on any email or written correspondence we have sent you – or on the wrapper/label on your subscription copy. 

You can also use our online facility to find it.

I’ve forgotten my password.  How do I find it?

When signing in, you will find a forgotten password link under the password box.  Click on this and then fill in the email address you used when registering on the site.  We will then email your password to you within a few minutes.

I have a paid subscription and have registered with the website, but am unable to access the subscriber-only content.  Why?

We suggest you check:

  • Is the email address you registered with on the website the same as the one you used for your paid-for subscription?  
  • Is your surname entered exactly as it appears on the wrapper/label on your magazine subscription copy?
  • Did you recently send in payment for a new subscription order/renewal? It may be that there has been a delay in receiving or processing your payment and subscription.

If you are still having problems, please contact customer services on customerservices@hsj.co.uk or 0207 728 4651 (Monday to Friday 9.00am – 5.30pm GMT).

I have a paid subscription and my account is activated - why do I have to put in my subscription number when reading newsletters?

To click through to stories in newsletters that come to your email account, please make sure that you are signed on to hsj.co.uk first. Then you will be able to access the full articles from your email account.

Can I change my email address and the password I use to access the website?

Yes. To change your email address and password, please first sign in, click on "my account" and then "account settings".  Once you have done this, please also email our print subscriptions department to advise them of your change of email address.

How can I check the details of my subscription or renew my subscription?

You can check your subscription details online.  You will need your 10 digit subscriber number. 

Alternatively, please contact HSJ@subscriptions.co.uk.

My company has multiple subscriptions, but only one person can log in to the website.  How can I set up access for all individual subscribers?

If you have a multiple copy subscription, you will be entitled to have the same number of website users as you have magazine subscriptions.  However, we may need to manually set up access for all users for you – please contact customerservices@hsj.co.uk or call 0207 728 4651 (Monday to Friday 9.00am – 5.30pm GMT).

When I go back to use the website again, I have been logged out.  Why?

Something is probably blocking your cookies. Please check your browser settings, and any firewall or spyware software you may have installed.

Why do I need cookies enabled?
