Software with electronic license
Electronic license
— software available only in digital form — for downloading from the developer's website. In fact, when buying a digital version, the client acquires only a license key to activate the product; at the same time, the distribution kit itself is most often available for download without a key, these licenses are required only when activating the product. This option is considered more advanced than delivery in a box: the purchase can be completed in a minutes (no need to go to the store or wait for delivery), and the absence of a box and physical media not only reduces the price, but also makes this package optimal in terms of environmental protection. However distributions can have a fairly large volume and downloading them may require a “fast” Internet channel; but this can hardly be called a serious shortcoming.Show
