Thanks! I had to go to the free assets of the month marketplace page to add the loft office pack, for whatever reason it was giving me an error on it's actual page.

The daily free books at PacktPub used to include PDF and EPUB, but they removed that some years ago.

You can only read them online now, and only if you remember to click "Access eBook Now" at https://www.packtpub.com/free-learning

Sorry, don't now how to download them.

I am guessing you entered the code while viewing your card... there is a field that says "Voucher code". This is NOT the place to enter the code. Click the button to purchase and on the next page there is a field where you can enter a "Coupon code"... This is where you enter the code.

It is a bit confusing to have two place where one might enter a code! :)

Thank you. Another great find.

Edit:
It does behave strangely.

  • If I access the store page, it does not seem that I own it. It still presents the "Buy Now" button.
  • If I try to buy it "again", then the HIPPO is now invalid.
  • Still, in my Order History if can see the order has be fulfilled. Here I can press "Open in Unity"
  • It is not in "My Assets"
  • However if I access "Asset Management" for my "Organization", then it does show up (and a seat is assigned to me)

Edit 2:
Something seems to have been fixed. Maybe because I did a logout/login - or something was changed at Unity's end.

  • Now I see the "Open in Unity" button on the store page
  • Can now access it via Package Manager in Unity Editior - and - in "My Assets" on web page

Here, it appears that it is available for purchase, but after refreshing the page, it shows that I already have the asset. Really strange behavior of Unity's page.
