Before You Purchase

Please ensure you purchase the correct software edition and version for your device before completing your order.

All software sold on our website is supplied as a once-off perpetual licence unless otherwise stated. This means:

  • The licence is valid for a single computer or device.
  • The licence is permanently linked to the device on which it is first activated.
  • The licence cannot be transferred to another computer once activated.
  • Significant hardware changes (such as replacing the motherboard) may require a new licence.
  • The licence does not include future version upgrades unless specifically stated.

If you are unsure which version you require, please contact us before placing your order.

Important Information

  • Internet access is required for activation.
  • Always download software from the official publisher.
  • Keep your licence key in a safe place.
  • Do not share your licence key with others.
  • One licence key may only be activated on the number of devices specified in the product description.
  • Once activated, the licence is permanently linked to that device and cannot be transferred to another computer.

How will I receive my software?

Your software is delivered electronically via email. Once your payment has cleared, you will receive:

  • Your software licence key
  • A download link for the software
  • Installation and activation instructions (where applicable)

Please allow up to 3 business hours for delivery after payment has been successfully received and cleared.

How long does activation take?

Most software activates within a few minutes once the licence key has been entered and verified online.

In some cases, activation may take longer depending on the software publisher’s activation servers.

Do you store my banking or card details?

No. We do not store your payment card details. Payments are processed securely by our authorised payment providers.

Do you provide installation support?

Yes. We provide basic guidance with installation and activation.

Should you experience any issues, our support team will assist with licence activation and common installation queries.

Do I need an internet connection?

Yes. Most software products require an internet connection for activation. Some products may also require internet access during installation or for updates.

Do I need a Microsoft account?

Some Microsoft products, including certain versions of Office, require a Microsoft account to download, activate or manage your licence.

If a Microsoft account is required, you will be prompted during the installation process.

Delivery Timeframe

All software licence keys are delivered electronically via email.

Orders are processed once payment has been successfully received and cleared. Please allow up to 3 business hours for your order to be processed and delivered.

Can I use one licence on multiple computers?

No. A single-device licence may only be activated on one computer unless the product description specifically states otherwise.

Can I transfer my licence to another computer?

Unless otherwise specified, licences sold are intended for activation on a single computer and become assigned to that device once activated. If you replace your computer or make significant hardware changes, such as replacing the motherboard, a new licence may be required.

Can I return or exchange my software?

Because software licence keys are digital products that cannot be returned once issued, all sales are final.

Refunds or replacements will only be considered whereby a licence key is verified as faulty or invalid.

Are your software licences genuine?

Yes. We supply genuine software licence keys sourced from authorised distributors and trusted suppliers. All software is intended for legitimate activation in accordance with the software publisher’s licensing terms.
