Copy and paste the link chrome://settings into the Chrome address bar and that will show which email address you're signed into Chrome with.

If you're not signed in with an email address linked to a Read&Write license follow the instructions to Sign in to multiple accounts at once.

Note: If using a Chromebook, follow the instructions for How to switch between users on a Chromebook and sign in with the email address linked to your subscription.

2) Once you've verified that you're signed into Chrome with an email address that's linked to a Read&Write license, copy and paste the link chrome://extensions into the Chrome address bar and search for Read&Write for Google Chrome to ensure that you have the extension.
