What is the Extended Download Service?
You can protect your purchase with Extended Download Service. We will keep a copy of your digital file should you need to re-download it for any reason. This service will enable you to make multiple downloads of digital computer software products purchased in a single order and downloaded from this website for a period of two (2) years after the date of purchase.
What is a Backup CD?
You can protect your purchase with a backup CD. Get a backup of your downloadable software mailed directly to you on a CD. This feature is only available as an additional service to the purchase of a digital product and cannot be purchased as a stand alone product.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express.

You can safely enter your entire credit card number via our secure server, which encrypts all submitted information.

When will my credit card be charged?
If you have purchased downloadable products your credit card will be charged on the day your purchase has been placed.

If you have ordered physical products we don't think you should pay for your order until it is actually on its way. We will not bill you until your product(s) are actually shipped.

Do I have to pay sales tax?
Please remit all applicable state sales tax. Sales are subject to sales tax in every U.S. state (and Washington DC) with the exception of New Hampshire, Alaska, Oregon, Montana, and Delaware.

If you hold tax-exempt status, please contact our Sales department at 1-866-333-9990 to place your order. When you provide us with your Tax Exemption information (e.g. Certificate Number), we will set up your account and process your order without sales tax - no need to pay tax and then claim a refund.

What should I enter as the billing address?
For credit card verification, you must enter the address exactly as it appears on your credit card statement. You do not need to enter a middle name or initial.
How do I enter a shipping address?
If you ordered a physical product, the order form will ask you if you would like the product shipped to the same address as your billing address.

If you do not want the product shipped to same address as your billing address, please de-select the Bill to the same address check box and enter delivery information in the Shipping Address form.

Should I put spaces or dashes in the Credit Card number?
No. Your card number should be entered in as a continuous string of numbers.
Why is my credit card not working?
There are a number of reasons for a failed credit card transaction. Your card may have expired or reached its limit or a credit card computer, either on our end or your bank's end, may have encountered a machine error. If you do have problems, you can contact Customer Service at 877-386-8083 (US and Canada), Monday through Friday, 9 am to 8 pm Eastern Standard Time.

What if the download stops before it is complete?
This site provides downloads that adhere to the HTTP 1.1 specification that allows for re-startable downloads. Therefore, if your download stops or is interrupted before it is complete, simply press the Begin Download button again and the download should resume where it left off.
What if I want a shipment, but have already purchased a download?
Unfortunately, we are unable to exchange a downloadable product for a physical product that you have already purchased. Please place a separate order for the physical product.
I have finished downloading where do I find it?
The best way to know where your download saved is to pay close attention to the "Save As" window at the beginning of the download process. Once you have clicked the download button and selected the option to save the file, you will be given the "Save As" window, which shows you exactly where your download is being saved to on your computer.

If you know the filename, you can do a search on your computer for it. Do not rename the file you're downloading, it may cause installation problems.
