Silly me, that's what I thought. :) However, I've had to buy WinZip a couple of times for this very reason, until I got fed up and bought a competitor's zip package the last time. Same thing happened with a low-end PDF converter package. And some others. Anita Hi Brian,

However, I’ve had to buy WinZip a couple of times for this very reason, until I got fed up and bought a competitor’s zip package the last time. Same thing happened with a low-end PDF converter package. And some others.

Nothing beats the ease, all from the comfort of your own home. Some software downloads offer to mail a cd copy for an extra few bucks along with the instant download. Whenever possible, I choose to pay the few extra dollars. I love the convenience of buying software online for immediate download and use.

However, you should ALWAYS be able to work with a software vendor to retrieve activation keys. If you have to fight with them to get something you've already purchased from them, I'd hesitate to do business with that vendor again.
