From the top menu, select "My Account > Account Status"
Enter your promo code into the box at the bottom of the window that pops up and hit "Submit".
You may have to sign out and then sign in again before your account status updates from "Napster Light" to the premium "Napster Subscriber."

(If you receive an error during this process, please visit the FAQ page.)

Case B - I AM USING A COMPUTER THAT DOES NOT HAVE NAPSTER INSTALLED

Install the free Napster software onto your computer by clicking HERE and following the installation instructions.
When prompted to run Napster now, select yes.
Log into your Napster account using your existing user name and password.
Enter your promo code into the box at the bottom of the window that pops up and hit "Submit".*

Case C - I HAVE A NAPSTER ACCOUNT, BUT NOT THROUGH MY SCHOOL

If you are already a Napster member, but have never registered for the Napster University Subscription Service, your promo code will not be redeemable without creating a new account*. You can do this by following these easy steps:

If you need to change the e-mail address, simply sign in with your original username, click on the My Account menu on the Napster client and select Member Information. Click on the Edit button at the top and change your email address.
