There is no duplicate charge on overlapping information, not within one license and not for concurrently running licenses. Any overlap of information in consecutive purchases will be discounted, according to the overlap in time.

To benefit from this, you must have Eureka Viewer open & running on your PC with your existing license while ordering new information via the Credit Card payment. 

The databases of MSI Eureka are constantly updated. Throughout the license period, subscriptions provide access to all database updates to each of the subscribed 'specified groups' of materials systems, with newly available information identified at each log-in.

With constant literature monitoring of all relevant journals and conference proceedings plus private communications, MSI Eureka ensures users are kept up to date with the literature of relevance to them.

A subscription includes the client software, Eureka Viewer plus its upgrades, as they become available.

Eureka Viewer

• provides the viewing and authentication functionality of the system, enabling access to value added information & evaluations contained within the databases plus providing a high degree of interactivity across documents & diagrams.
