| The most important thing about your software is the key codes. They are what you are mainly paying for. They say you own the software. | |
| It is usually easy to get a copy of the install dvd, or download it from the company's website, but you need the key codes. | |
I keep all my software in a locked fire box. I write my key codes right on each software dvd, as the software is worth nothing without the key codes and if you lose them, you're out. I also have the key codes in my computer documents folders and in my e-mail folder tree, just in case. |
|
If you purchase your software online and download it, be sure to record the keycodes in more than one place. I always print pdfs of the receipt and of the page that shows the keycodes, and save them in my main Supplies documents folder, in a sub folder titled the name of the software. I also save the e-mail confirmation in my e-mail folder tree and e-mail the pdf of the keycodes to myself, then save it in there. |
|
One last warning: Do not ever let someone you buy a computer from or someone installing the software on your computer keep the actual software disc and key codes. I have seen people lose them in that way, too many times. Sad, but true. |
