Is this a legal download of the program? I see many reviews saying it is a pirate version. Please confirm before I buy.

Yes, the software I received is legal. It is actually Sold by World Weidner - Machine Embroidery Supplies from which I have purchased many other embroidery-related items. I registered the Embrilliance software with no problems, and they notify and download updates as needed.

Its a steam code. Which requires steam (http://store.steampowered.com) to activate, download and play the game. Yes you can I have played it on my win 7 x64 pc.

The DVD is just a link to Steam and a CD Key. So you do have to download all of it. I didn't mind though, because the game is so awesome!!! Good luck. : )

Microsoft sent a message that it doesn't recognize it as a legal copy. I've run into this on another computer that my stepson owned a few years ago. Eventually it just locked up and wouldn't work, cost several hundred dollars to get a legal Microsoft window program loaded into it.

I purchased a license with no disc. There was no deadline to download, but it is for only one PC. Amazon keeps record of your purchase in your registered account, that you create at time of purchase, on Amazon's site. This protects you if something happens and you need to reinstall the program. I also saved the download to my Dropbox on the cloud.

I actually bought the DVD, but it does require a Steam account to play. Once I got onto Steam, I saw that it offered the download version. So, although I can't be sure, I think you could download the game to play through Steam.

I have never tried to play .iso dvd rips. I recommend go to their website and ask support.

It looks like an un-enforceable policy. If I can install the program in 3 different PCs, how do they expect to control the machines' ownership? Sounds odd to me.

I do not know. I have not been able to get the program to install on my PC.

No longer any disc available from their website, though I have not tried contacting support (December 2014). Does anyone have a download link by chance?

it is downloadable - in fact the CD that came with it was out of date, and I had to download the correct software from the website anyway :)

Where did you by the sound drivers and how much?I finally got mine working but before Brian's post. He is correct' as best I can tell, and the problem rests with our computer software. I purchased a " DVD Decoder" download load on line from Roxio (I paid $20.98 but you can get it for a one time only down load for about $15 -if that is what you want). It now plays DVD movies and installs software which is what I wanted. I uninstalled the Hero program from my computer. Happy with the results but I only wish that I had been able to read Brian James post before I purchased the fix.

The downloaded version didn't work for me either. I copied the game key from amazon into steam and I downloaded it that way.You can download steam here: http://store.steampowered.com/

Thanks. Do you have a link to the software for ripping DVD's?If I want to rip a DVD, does the box indicate what file type the DVD is?

Its downloadable software, not discs. It includes a key to register an FFXI/POL account.

I just looked it up again and Insee that it's $28 if you have a Prime membership and $59 if you don't. From what I see, that's the same for either a disc or download. I prefer the download for two reasons: 1. The software key and download link are stored for you through Amazon and 2. It's easier to install across multiple platforms. Again, I am seeing the difference in the price if you are a Prime member or not, I don't see anywhere else where it's different. I might not be looking at the same thing you are....

I can't put my hands on my package for this but I researched this question about a year or so ago and my recollection is that you can actually run it legally on a small peer-to-peer network of 3 users. I have used this program for 25 years--including on networks. It is rock solid for what it is. Unfortunately for small time guys like me I think their successor is trying to take it to a higher level to compete with CRM systems which I'm sure it can do. However, they are pricing guys like me out of the market. The bad news is there probably won't be any support for this version going forward. The good news is you probably won't need it. I also wouldn't expect the folks who've sold out to come after you for license infractions but you never know.
