Frequently Asked Questions

I. ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS

What is an electronic software licence?

An electronic software licence provides the customer with a right to use software programs via the digital delivery of a product key.

Are your licences lifelong?

Yes. We sell Microsoft Office and Windows licences as a one-time purchase product – by paying a single up-front cost you get the software for one computer for a lifetime, unless stated otherwise. There are no extra costs or recurring subscriptions involved.

Are your licences genuine?

The software licences we sell are unique and only for you. They can be used by regular users and business users.

What are the benefits of electronic software licences?

  • Availability: electronic licences are available at anytime, anywhere;
  • Delivery: fast email delivery with no waiting time and no shipping costs;
  • Eco-friendly: there is no unnecessary packaging or transport required;
  • Price: often cheaper than physical licences.

Is my computer suitable for these software licences?

We always advise you to check the product description for specific system requirements (at the bottom of the product page). Check them carefully to know if your device meets the requirements to run the programs.  

If you don’t know your computer’s system details you can find it out by following these steps:

1. Visit: My Computer Details.

2. Click the blue button ‘View Computer Details’.

4. The software will perform a hardware scan (takes around 30 seconds).

3. It will automatically download a detection software named Detection.exe, which you have to run (double click it).

5. After the scan is completed your computer system details will be displayed in the same internet browser window.

Why are your licences cheaper than the licences from Microsoft? 

In order to answer this question, let us present you our business model in a simple example. A company purchases a certain number of software licenses. After 1 year, the leadership of the company decides to substitute the tool/application that uses these licenses and they become obsolete – they are not needed anymore. This is the moment when we, Digital Content Distribution, step in and help the company gain some savings by purchasing these licences.

A preliminary factor important for us, so that the licences are eligible to be purchased, is that they have a certifiable origin. We adhere to strict procedures in the process of verification of potential partners (companies from which we buy the unused software licences), which include but are not limited to:

  • Legal proof of acquisition of the software (it can be procurement contract or invoice)
  • Software and licence keys must be provided in proper manner
  • Full information about the company from which the software and respectively the licence has been purchased initially
  • All software licences must have no expiration date

All our customers benefit from this collaboration – gaining rights to authentic software at lower prices.

This approach has been evidenced as legal and trustworthy by the Court of Justice of the EU.

As soon as our system processes the payment, your order will be fulfilled and the product key will be sent to you via email.
