What is included with the download? Can the download be backed up on a DVD?

Hi Jane, I hope what follows will help in your purchase of this software. I saved it to my hard drive with no problems noted. I am willing to say that you can save or back-up the program to a DVD or other drive that you desire with no problems that I can see. The software is still available to me on Amazon for download with the serial number. I purchased it Oct 2013. I use it for design work for my CNC work that I do and the manufacture uses in their online classes. As far as I can tell this Designer 2D is a full working copy and I actually downloaded a trial copy Designer 19 prior to purchasing Designer 20. Good luck...there are a number of videos on this program and the help function gave me what I needed. I have two monitors so I would watch and follow the videos in learning the program.

Yes, and it is included in the box. It is easy, at the first time you need a driver. Your OS will set it up without your help... only press ok button.Then, at the website, you press download data, and thats all!

In addition to the installation software, there is some CyberLink software (Power2Go, PowerBackup, LabelPrint, YouCam, PowerDVD Downloader), a 60 day trial of Norton Internet Security, and a user manual for the drive included. I didn't (and usually don't) use any of the included software with this sort of device except what is necessary for installation and use. The installation software is intended for a Windows computer.

Most programs are Web download based now - much of the industry is moving this way. We decided to purchase a external USB DVD/Blu ray burner. Works wonders!

None really, I've had both and never found any real pros or cons, to each his on I guess. The download can be re-issued without cost in the event of loss of data (don't let anyone tell you otherwise) so the only real benefit of the CD is an actual hard copy. But saying that the program itself is tiny so, a disk copy has always been overkill to me. I keep a mobile version on my USB at all times, so a hard copy gives me nothing.

Go to epizenter.net like I said before, it's easy, but I'm not gonna post links to DVD ripping software here, since ripping commercial DVDs isn't legal.

Rich, Need more info. I assume the laptop is not connected to the Internet...? If that's correct, I would save the download to the computer then transfer it to the laptop. Hope this helpsi

Good question. I've never tried that. Most disc are encoded with some security so your computer will not allow you to download or copy them. I'm sure there's some stuff to download to get around that but I have no idea. If you did get around the security I'm sure you can have the entire film on your computer then of course you can do what you want with it.

I do not have an answer to your question, but I would be very wary of purchasing this program as a download. I did purchase it and was not able to open it. After a little research I found that others had this same issue.

It doesn't come with a disk, you download the installer via the website when you register.

The downloads come from the internet, but the discs are personally purchased. No Internet is needed for the discs.

My version came on a DVD. I think there also may be a downloadable version as well.

No DVD. Internet up/download, Streaming & flash drive only way to transfer information.

The DVD is basically a bunch of pdfs with some menus added for navigation purposes. You can copy the pdfs off the DVD and read them like normal pdfs, but I've found if you're reading them on anything but adobe reader on Windows it will display a watermark across the comic. There may be some workarounds for this, but I never took the time to look into it.

Absolutely! Not that I'm encouraging illegal activity, but, if you have a DVD decrypter, you can save a copyrighted DVD to disc (via the decrypter) and import it into VS using the import wizard (just remember to look for the saved/decrypted folder, not a disc in a drive).

The dvd came with mine but I also bought it used and it specified what came with it, good luck.
