   How-to Purchase Software Licenses

The licensed softwares on TCND.COM are digitally signed distributions. To download the distribution file of a software, you need to purchase an asset key that binds to the signed distribution. As an example, this chapter shows step-by-step how to purchase an ASPL Enterprise distribution. The same method can be applied to purchase any licensed software from TCND.COM.
