   Yes. We stock CD copies of our software and they are available when you select a physical shipment method such as Postal Delivery during the ordering process. One thing to keep in mind is that the software on CD is identical to the software we deliver on the Web, so many people opt for e-mail delivery of our software to save money. Our products are small, but powerful, and are designed with efficient downloading in mind.
