You will encounter this message if you:

  • Don't have a subscription that includes Digital Access. 
  • Haven't linked your startribune.com account to your subscription.

To resolve this error:

  • If you don't have an active subscription, either select "Subscribe" or go to startribune.com/subscribe to start a subscription.
    • Please note, if you're looking for access to the app and our other online content, you will need to choose a subscription that includes Digital Access.
  • If you haven't linked your startribune.com account to your subscription, please do so at startribune.com/activate. 
    • You will be first asked to sign in at that page. Then, you will be asked for the last name and email address associated with your subscription. 
    • If you have an active subscription to link to, and it includes Digital Access, you should then be able to access the content on our app. 

If you need help managing or changing your subscription, you can submit a subscription support request here.
