The UpToDate app
The UpToDate-App is a free app. To access our license you need to register in person at UptoDate (on the top right).
You can do it using this link to UpToDate, choose 'Register'. Outside the University/UMCG you must first log in using your Proxy-account, choose 'Register'.
Your username and password are required to log in to the app.
It has the disadvantage you need to log in every 90 days at least one time to UptoDate from a University/UMCG-pc or through your Proxy-account. You will receive emails from UpToDate: " Maintain your remote access to UpToDate" or "Your remote access to UpToDate has lapsed".
