We just got WSJ and we use Azure. Students have to activate their accounts on your school's specific activation page. It's a one-time thing and students put in their email/ password and select their graduation dates, and they are good to go after that. Then
they can access wsj.com and the apps directly. </div>

We have had ProQuest's Wall Street Journal online for many years, and despite faculty saying they want, need, and have students use it, use has dropped to the point where I told our business school that they had to split the cost to continue the subscription.
I know that the current ProQuest interface is probably not the best for use and inquired about site licensing from the WSJ directly. Their quote is on par with what we're paying now and I believe the site license would increase use greatly.</div>

However, I'm finding somewhat conflicting information about site license coverage and implementation based on what I see from other universities' subscriptions. Here are my questions:</div>
