I like having the disk, but am wondering if downloading it immediately would be basically the same and even $10 cheaper. Any suggestions? Any help would be awesome! ~Brandon The latest comments added to the Post, Maple 11 is now shipping 78125 Thu, 22 Feb 2007 06:53:30 Z barretbp barretbp http://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/41827-Maple-11-Is-Now-Shipping?ref=Feed:MaplePrimes:Maple 11 is now shipping:Comments#comment85895 Quick access and modest cost savings is the primary difference. At this point, the physical version will not be available for a few weeks and depending on backlog, you may have a bit of a wait. So many choose "instant gratification". Also the manuals are available in electronic form within Maple so there's little advantage unless having real books is important to you. T4.

And I can just burn all the files to my own CD. Thanks for your input!

Tom, am I right? (License may have changed or I may have misunderstood...) I choosed the downloadable version, so now I hope to receive the link for downloading in a few days, I don't know if actually you can download Maple 11 immediately, probably there's a queue to avoid bandwidth problems... However, to download remains probably the quickest way to buy Maple, particularly if you don't live in North America (like me)...

The transfer and issuing of a new activation code is performed by our Tech Support group. This actually applies to download customers as well. In this case though, you would be provided with a new download altogether and not simply a new license code or file. So the only real difference between download and CD for platform switch is a tiny bit of convenience. A bigger question is why you are waiting to download your copy of Maple 11. As soon as you purchase, you should get an immediate authorization to download. If you're waiting too long after purchasing please contact support@maplesoft.com. Thanks. T4.
