What comes with a license shop
The electronics store has the advantage that you can touch the box and take it with you right away. The downside: after the purchase you are usually on your own with the installation, and the price is generally the list price for new goods.
A specialized license shop delivers digitally, often cheaper, and a reputable provider includes software support. At Keywi24 that means: instant delivery by email, 90 days of German-language technician support and an activation guarantee. What you should look for in a license shop is trustworthiness, that is, an invoice and reachable support.
