When associating your titles at: http://highwire.stanford.edu/cgi/changesubs For Step 2. please ensure you are using your subscription username / password and NOT your portal login credentials.

Note: Once you manage your IP addresses via the HighWire site for a particular subscription, you will no longer be able to manage IPs for that subscription from the journal sites. Any future changes must be made from the HighWire site. Also, some publishers require that you manage IP addresses directly through their sites rather than through HighWire, such as American Society for Microbiology and Company of Biologists journals.

Only titles administered by the email addresses registered to your HighWire account will appear in your reports run from the HighWire site.
You can obtain the usage in one of three ways:
1. Visit the subscriptions page on the journal site and view the usage reports by signing in with the administrator username and password.
2. If the email address in the subscription is no longer accurate, you can change the email address to the one used on your HighWire account (see question on “How do I update my subscription email address(s)?”). After an overnight update, title(s) will then appear in your HighWire tools (in the list of titles you administer at: http://highwire.stanford.edu/cgi/instadmininfo?show=related and in your usage reports at: http://highwire.stanford.edu/cgi/instadmininfo?show=rptMenu ).
3. Add the email address listed in the subscription to your HighWire account at: http://highwire.stanford.edu/cgi/changeemail. (Please confirm with any current colleagues before adding their email addresses. If you add their addresses, they will not be able to create HighWire accounts of their own with those addresses.)

For example, “someuser@myorganization.org|sla2rty3”.
Each publisher hosted on the HighWire platform has their own terms of use and license policy. HighWire does not have a generic Terms of Use document, since we do not own the content that we host. As such, you will need to source terms and conditions from each publisher site. For AAP, for example, this can be found under “Institutional Licensing and Sales” at http://www.aappublications.org/about.
If you are unable to find terms and conditions for a specific publisher, please use the feedback form on the publisher site — this will direct your query to the relevant publisher resource
