Other than being just a tad less expensive (at the outset anyway), what is the advantage to the Key Card vs. Download?

If you're looking at this product page, they're the same thing. With the key card you have to wait to get a card printed with a physical number mailed to you. The number is in your amazon account when you do the download (I assume). So if you can wait a week, get the key card. You have to download from Microsoft and create a Microsoft account either way. Either way this is a subscription product that expires after a year and all of the software stops working if you let it expire.

Hello Melissa, key, or p.i.n. will open this, at first I was using the main key to access, but then found it just as easy to use p.i.n. and a bit quicker as well.

Code keys are no longer needed. It should have been noted when you bought the product and on the packing slip as well.

You should get the box, but if I were u I'd get the down load version, never lose your cd or cd key that way

Not a big difference. One is physical that you'd get in the mail. Same function without the copy and paste.

You can use it for minutes and read downloads. I never had a problem with those two things.

I only download, my wife does both. I find the download quality good, not great, but more than adequate. She says the fast forward functioning is much better with downloading. For our main purposes though of watching our recorded shows on our iPads while traveling, we absolutely love this product.

PC Key card version means that they will physically send you a box with a printed key and web site address. You use the key to download the software from that website. This process takes about a week. This means that somebody holds your money for about a week before you get your product. PC download means that you may start downloading right after purchasing the software.

The program will be the same dl'd or delivered on disc. The registration key will work on both. Side note: There are so many many better free programs out there on the net. In fact, I thought they were giving burn express (might be different than Burning Rom) away for free on the site not to long ago.

Amazon should give you the option for a code that can be mailed to you OR a download code. I have never had any problem with a downloaded code and it is much faster!

download card can be used right away while you have to wait for the leaplet to arrive. The download card has the set price while if buying from amazon the card prices actually change I bought one for 16$ the last time I ordered and today its 17. They both are 20$ credit and are used to buy the same items. It would however be neat if you were allowed to buy different amounts instead of 20 at a time

All that comes in the package is a card with the key on it. You must download the app from the Microsoft site then activate it using the key # on the card.

I typically purchase the disc version over the download version for this very reason. I install it, and then pass it on to my brother and sister who who it for both of their families. Since it has 5 federal e-files included, we all e-file at no cost (and still have 2 e-files remaining that go unused). When you pass on the disc you will need to also provide them the Key Code that came in the box as this is what is used to determine how many e-files you have lest. We have been doing this for the past 3 or 4 years.

To my knowledge, there is not. You will need to buy a product key for each. Which cost the amount of the software.

The download is now but the cd you got to wait in the mail (unless you buy it in a store). If your concern is "I want the pass key" that's printed on the box i am pretty sure they will email that to you, so you have it either way.

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.

Yes you can as long as you have the activation code or product key that you will receive with your original download.
