2. Select Got a book code?

3. Enter the 16-digit code in the box provided, accept the terms of use, and click Add to Resources.

How to use a site licence activation code

A site licence product can be viewed by all members of your school or institution.

Note that some site licences, principally our Digital Classroom site licences, are for teacher use only. In these cases, the site licence will only activate the product for teachers.

Setting up your school to use site licence products

In order to activate a product site licence for your institution, you must first register your school in Cambridge GO. You can do this at the point you create your own Cambridge GO account, or later by clicking on your Profile link. You can check to see if you have a school account by looking in your Profile after logging in to GO

Once your school has been registered in Cambridge GO, you can upload teachers and students to the account
