How to find a product

Spoilt for choice. With over 500 titles to choose from, how do you find the one you want whether you’re browsing or ordering? To make it easy for you, we’ve set out below 3 simple steps you can take.

1. Internal search.
Just type in the name of the product you’re looking for or the key words that come to your mind to describe it and a list will be returned showing all the suitable matches.

2. Search by category.
Choose the relevant category from the selection at the top of the page and a list will be returned showing relevant sub-categories and products.

3. Search by price, software publisher, new products.



To perform these searches, go to the Product Index page, choose the relevant link in the right hand menu and a list will be returned showing the relevant products.

Find what you want.  Happy hunting!

Which delivery method to select

You'll see us write about "download" and "box" or "physical" versions. This is what we mean:

Download:  just like with much music today we just download the software immediately over the internet to your computer. You can combine this with physical and get the best of both worlds - immediate gratification and some back up media, just in case…

Box:  this is usually the standard retail pack so might be a large box with large manual for some of our technical products, or might be a thin DVD-like package or "jewel case" as these are sometimes known.

Physical:  this can be a Back Up CD or DVD which comes in a light mailer rather than a shiny commercial box; it might be a piece of paper if you are doing volume licensing.

Back Up CD/DVD: this is a CD/DVD with the software you downloaded on it. It comes in an Avanquest mailer and often we include some bonus software or trial versions on it. Only available with "download".

All software on this website is available by either download or a boxed copy – or both.

 

Which one is right for you?

Get it now!

When available, we recommend you to choose the download version for one major reason: You’ll be able to install and start using the software on your computer within minutes! Should you wish to get a physical copy in case you need to reinstall your program in the future, you can order a back-up CD that you’ll receive a few days later. It’s like having your cake and eating it…
One limitation though: If you have a Broadband internet connection, downloading software from us will only take a few minutes at most. However if you use a dial-up modem, we recommend that you don't try to download anything bigger than 150MB.

The traditional way.
Get the same product you could find in a high street shop delivered directly to your door. No empty shelves, no traffic jams, no queuing in line – but the comfort of buying from your home or office.
Please note that some titles are available only in boxes, usually because we think they are too big to be downloaded - they would take ages. As faster internet become more available we will offer more and more titles to download.
