By activating your code you indicate that you accept the terms of our Legal Notice.
You can follow the process below to either:
a) Activate a trial code (for university staff)
Please note that if your institution purchases a subscription to a Trove product, institutional users can have seamless access via IP range. There will be no need for each individual user at your institution to go through the process set out here.
OR
b) Activate a purchased access code
If this access code or token has been provided to you by your institution, then your access to Law Trove is governed by your insitutiton's licence with OUP (as well as the Privacy Policy and Legal Notice). Please note that you wil only need to go through the token activation process once, but you will need to remember your password for future access.

Troubleshooting
My access code doesn’t work. What do I do?
Access codes are redeemable once and are not transferable; they also have an expiry date. For that reason it’s highly unlikely that you’ll be able to redeem a code printed on a second-hand title or an old edition. Access to your title(s) on Law Trove is valid for 12 months from redemption; your subscription may have expired.
If you’ve entered your code correctly, and it doesn’t work, please email accesstokens@oup.com. It would help us if you include the name of your institution, how you were given your code, and the access number in your email.
I’ve set up my access but my login doesn’t work.
Please email us at trovehelp@oup.com, including as much information as possible about your situation.
I've had my access code for a while but haven't redeemed it yet, is there a time limit?
Yes, you must activate your code before 30 June each year, after that it will expire. For that reason it’s highly unlikely that you’ll be able to redeem a code printed on a second-hand title or an old edition.
If you are still experiencing login problems please email trovehelp@oup.com, with as much information as possible.
