Software download
In order to view the eTextbook and eChapter content you purchased, you must first download and install
the viewer or "unsealer" software.
The viewer software uses a Digital
Rights Management (DRM) program to protect copyrighted content in
eTextbooks and eChapters. This software prevents book content from being
copied, forwarded, shared, or used in an unauthorized manner.
Installing the viewer software is
a quick and easy process. Be sure to do this BEFORE you
access your digital content for the first time.
Step 1: Install the viewer software
To download the software, simply
click the "Install Unsealer" button below.
If you need help with the installation process, try the
Installation Guide (Windows)
or
Installation Guide (MAC)
or contact customer support: 866-994-2427 or send an email to
ichapters-support@cengage.com.
Step 2: Perform a system check
To verify that the software
installation completed successfully, click the "Check system" button below.
