How We Supply Software and Deliver Value
We supply digital software as an independent retailer, with prices that vary by product, licence type and availability. Supply channels, purchasing terms and market pricing help explain why offers can differ.
Software Supply Channels
Distributors and resellers give software another route to market. Prices can differ from buying directly from a publisher, depending on the product and licence supplied.
Volume Purchasing
Buying licences in larger quantities can lower the cost of each one. Different purchasing terms can lead to a lower price for the customer.
Regional Pricing
Software can cost different amounts in different markets. Those price differences can carry through to reseller offers, alongside the licence and activation region.
Key Options and Details
Software licences come in different forms, including Retail, OEM and Volume. The licence type can change how a product is activated, how many devices it covers and whether it can move to another computer. Each product page describes the option being offered.
