ACM Lifetime Membership Advantages
There are two clear advantages to a Lifetime Membership for an ACM Member:
- An ACM Lifetime Member enjoys the convenience of making a single payment for their entire tenure as an ACM Member
- An ACM Lifetime Member is protected from future ACM price increases.
ACM Lifetime Membership Application Process
ACM Professional Members may apply for Lifetime Membership upon their original application, or during the course of their Professional Membership. ACM Lifetime Membership dues are based on the age of the member at the date of application and the standard Professional Member Dues rate at that time. Lifetime Membership applicants may also opt to include the ACM Digital Library Premium subscription in their Lifetime Membership Package, with the pricing structure based on age tiers and current pricing.
Yearly Subscriptions
You may add or renew ACM subscriptions (the Digital Library Premium or Special Interest Groups) for one year by selecting the appropriate buttons at the checkout page.
ACM Lifetime Membership Limitations
Past Professional or Student Member dues payments cannot be applied towards Lifetime Membership dues. Additional discounts cannot be applied to ACM Lifetime Membership. ACM reserves the right to change or substitute the benefits, products or services included in a member's original Lifetime Membership Package at any time.

Read a message from ACM President Elisa Bertino about the possibility of opening the ACM Digital Library to LLMs. While ACM's Publications Board and Digital Library Board have discussed allowing LLMs to train on articles in the Digital Library, ACM has not made a decision regarding whether or how the Digital Library might be used for LLM training. Your input is an important part of ensuring ACM continues to serve the computing community thoughtfully and responsibly. If you have not yet shared your perspectives, please read President Bertino's message and consider participating in the survey.
