Most computers no longer have DVD drives and the amount of data is now so large that it can no longer be stored on a DVD. The new ChessBase booklets therefore contain an activation code that can be used to download the product. Anyone who likes to collect, archive and shelve ChessBase products can continue to do so and will then receive beautifully designed booklets with an imprinted serial number. You then download the new ChessBase product installer, enter the number and the product is downloaded and installed in full!
