I suddenly lost access to the service.

Multiple simultaneous logins are not allowed on the same User ID.
Somebody else may be logged in using the same ID. Nikkei Real Estate Market Report allows only one login at a time for each user ID, which is issued by Nikkei for each subscription. Multiple logins cannot be made with a single user ID.

I need to enter my user ID and password frequently.
A.12
Please check your browser's cookie settings.
Your user ID and password are stored in a file called a cookie on your computer. Our site sets the expiration period of cookies as 7 days and you will not need to enter your user ID and password for 7 days once they are stored. However, if the expiration period for cookies is set shorter on your computer, the cookie is valid only for that specific period. If you wish to change your cookie settings, check your browser's HELP file.

Another possibility is that somebody else is logged in using the same user ID and password. Our website does not allow multiple simultaneous accesses on a single user ID.
Q.13
Are the user ID and password case sensitive?
A.13
Yes, our system distinguishes between upper and lower case letters.
Q.14
Is access limited to specific hours of the day?

No. You can access our website/database 24 hours a day.
Access may be denied for a few minutes due to maintenance on an irregular basis, in which case an announcement will be made on the top page.
