Do you need to use the CD every time, or can you upload the program into your computer, like Office?

No disc necessary once you install it. When you update, you have delete the program and then download and install the update.

No, once load it the first time, I only have to press the shortcut icon to get it back later. You DO have to be sure that you do nothave it loaded on more than 2 compiters. It will only completely work on TWO of them at a time.

I would have the CD handy. I found that I had to use the CD for the software install. Thanks.

You have to install the game on your hard drive so it can save your progress, but you will still need the CD to play. Since my kids leave fingerprints on everything, I made a back-up copy of the CD and I let them use that in the computer.

You can activate the program on up to 3 personal computers. You have the ability to either run from the disc, or install to hard drive.

Most new and updated programs can be downloaded from the internet. We also have a protable cd/dvd drive that connects to laptop via usb cable. Works great.

Yes, I have done it. The CD shows up in/on your computer exactly as it would if the disc were in your internal CD drive (at least it does for me) so it's just the same.

I honestly don't know. The program comes on a small cd that will not work in a Mac. I think you need the desk top that has a tray that comes out to put the cd in.

Can this game be downloaded to the computer so you don't have to use the disk every time?

I think it comes with a CD so I would install the software on it. It has been awhile since I set mine up.

NO. It comes on a CD that has to be in the CD-player every time you play it.

yes and no. Yes you can install it, but depending what kind of license you bought with MS Office 2010, it might now allow you to activate it because you have used up the cd-key (license) on previous PCs you have installed it on. Most standard licenses allows you to install it on 2 PCs. If you ever do run into the issue, just call Microsoft activation team and they usually activate (but deactivates other PCs that has it installed)

Yes...download the software to a folder on your computer and then write to CD or CD-R.

There's a CD that you load that allows you to sync. You might be able to download the program off the internet.

What type of programs?If you have content on a flash drive or external drive then definitely yes. If it is a program downloaded from the internet or bought from the microsoft app store then definitely yes. However, if you are wondering about CDs or DVDs, then you will need to find an external disc drive in order to load them onto the computer. Hope this helps!

My wife uses the product at her workplace. She says that the option is given at setup on which program you want it to interface with...MS Office is one choice. I don't know how well it works with Office.

I'm interested in the answer to this as well. I've always bought the cd version thinking it's the only way I can share with family members. (I believe it's up to 3 filings)? Would the 'download' version allow for this too?
