Well, I didn't do that yet. I think there shouldn't be any problem re-installing the software on your machine. You just need to remember the product key. For re-installing, you need to download the software on your local machine and re-install the software again whenever you want and then you need enter product key that you have stored somewhere. Once all above steps are done, you are good to use the software again...Hope, this would help.

I used it without the cd, but in some cases you might need it. I downloaded the software for it but never really used it.

It installs the same amount whether you get a hard copy or a digital. Only difference is you're pulling from a disk rather than downloading it using your Internet speed so it goes faster(unless you have blazing Internet speed). There may be a slight difference, but not enough to choose one or the other.

I purchased the CDs and they had issues loading into my PC. I wound up returning and purchasing the downloadable version. No need for cds anymore!

As long as you purchase the disc, you don't need to download. You insert the disc and its installed on your computer.

The regular package ships with an installation cd. If the one you buy says OS Code, you only receive the product license key and then you will have to download the software over the internet (no additional charge). The end result is the same, in most customers situations, it just a matter of preference.

The retail package comes with both discs, your choice of installation. Same concept applies for Windows Vista - Windows 8. As for digital download, your choice as the product key looks at the edition regardless of architecture.

to me it seems better and easier for me to have the disk rather than try to download, when I try to download one I usually have trouble. if I have the disk I can always go back to it.

I have this disk and I was able to download both. I can't remember if I had to download one and then the other or if they downloaded together. but I have both downloaded. I'm sorry but I don't have any solution at this time.

Thanks for the info, guys. I use Windows XP, plan on downloading well over 4GB in musical CDs, audiobooks, and mp3's, so, if I'm reading you right, I SHOULD reformat to NTFS. Is this correct? And thanks again for your help.

No, the cd I ordered installed without a problem. Are you running Windows 7 64 bit? I think I had to get a patch because I have 64 not 32 bits. Check that out.

You should only install on one PC if I remember correct. But I think you mean how many times can you download in case you need to get it again. If I remember correct there was a number of times. But when you download the file you will have the file. So burn to a DVD or put on a USB external drive or something so you will have a hard copy of it. What I also did was upgrade to the new version X7. When I upgraded one of the things they offer for a small fee is to mail you a DVD with the program. I paid for it. I feel much better having it here on a DVD. Hope the answer helps.

I have seen companies who you can purchase the download through and purchase a back up disc also. But if I were you I would download the program to a disc and then install it to your computer. Then you have the back up right away and don't have to purchase it too.

It is supposed to be able to install without the cd. I had the same issue and would return it for another brand. Their customer service is terrible.

to the best of my knowledge , they will sell it to you on line direct and allow you a download into your PC . I highly suggest not doing so , buy the disc , it allows you 3 uses, also when its time to renew it is less expensive to just buy a new one each year , if you renew on line you pay more and its a one time shot. this way it allows you to install it on 3 computers or if you had to re-install yours for any kind of reason you have it in your hands . save the packaging it has the activation code you'll need for each install. it has been working well , also i suggest not to allow the Norton Tool Bar to be activated , it stops you from going to certain web sites , it didn't let me log into my bank or get my e-mail until i disabled the norton toolbar , then everything worked fine. Its a great deal especially if you own more than one computer.

Actually it came with version 4.3 and once activated it automatically downloads a system upgrade which is 4.4.2 and it is your choice whether to install it or not.
