Benefits of Software Download
In addition to giving you immediate access to new software features, software download provides the following benefits:

• Convenience—It’s more convenient than installing software from a DVD or CD and is available 24 hours a day.
• Sustainability—Because there’s no printing, packaging, or shipping, it’s a more sustainable choice.
• Central control—Software Coordinators can provide users with electronic access to upgrades and manage software permissions centrally.
