The Future of ChessBase Software: Say Goodbye to DVDs and Hello to Activation Codes

ChessBase, the leading provider of chess software, has announced a major change in how their products will be distributed. In a move towards modernization and convenience, ChessBase will no longer include DVDs in their software packages. Instead, customers will receive an activation code that can be used to download and install the software.

This shift reflects the changing technology landscape, as fewer computers are equipped with DVD drives. By eliminating the need for physical media, ChessBase is streamlining the purchasing and installation process for their users. The activation code will be printed in an elegant booklet, making it easy to store and even gift to others.

The decision to move away from DVDs also addresses practical concerns. DVDs have limited storage capacity, which can be a problem for the increasingly large databases and video formats used in modern chess software. Additionally, DVDs can easily become damaged or lost, whereas a download installer is more reliable and convenient.

For long-time fans of ChessBase products, the transition to digital downloads will not change the quality or availability of their favorite titles. And for new customers, the process of purchasing and installing ChessBase software will be simpler and more efficient.

Chess enthusiasts are encouraged to try out the new system, with the opportunity to explore the latest Fritztrainer produced by German grandmaster Elisabeth Pähtz. With this innovative approach to software distribution, ChessBase is ensuring that players around the world have easy access to the tools they need to improve their game.
