FamilySearch Affiliate Library & Premium Content access
My local Affiliate Library does not seem to offer access to the Premium Content websites which I've used at several FamilySearch Centers.
Specifically, i am interested in using the Swedish ArkivDigital database.
Is this only available at an official FamilySearch Center? Or is there some sort of setting or permission that the Affiliate Library needs?
The installed Chrome Extension says that the location in a FamilySearch Center cannot be verified.
Thank you.

Affiliates do not have access to the Premium Websites through the Extension. The Extension is not used at an Affiliate. You can access CERTAIN restricted records at Affiliates.
Many public library systems have their own service contracts with the genealogy provider websites. Check your own library website for details. Mine has Ancestry, MyHeritage, Fold3, GenealogyBank, Newspapers dot com and NewspaperArchive, and others, but not accessed through the Portal.
See the instructions here and particularly this line. Note: The FamilySearch Center Portal is for FamilySearch center use. It cannot be used in affiliate libraries. https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/family-history-center-premium-content-browser-extension

That was pretty much what I thought, but it made sense to ask. The nearest Familysearch Center is over an hour away, but the Affiliate library is a few minutes away.

The Portal Extension can be used at any Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-say Saints meeting house, IF you are inside the church, using their WIFI, and download the Extension while connected through their WIFI.
