LSEG Workspace

Registering for Workspace

You can use LSEG Workspace for 48 hours after which your license expires. Licenses expire at midnight UK time. Please take this into account if you are working in a different time zone.

After 48 hours when your license expires, you may sign up again to get further access.

Go to the Self-Registration Portal. Your email address should end with .gre.ac.uk. Any other email address will be refused, including .greenwich.ac.uk.
You will receive a Welcome email with a link to set your password. Please continue to use your .gre.ac.uk email as your username and select your own password.
Go back to the Welcome email, and access the Workspace platform.

Alternatively, access registration instructions in a video.

DataStream

If you have downloaded the desktop application of Workspace, you have the option to also use DataStream, LSEG's historical financial database where you can access time series data and use the Excel add in.

Requesting use of DataStream may delay access to Workspace for up to 6 hours.

Registration Failure

If you receive an email that says: "Unfortunately, the self-registration request you submitted has failed" this is because all of the University's licences are in use.

Try to register again the following day (after midnight) to gain access to licenses that have become available again.
