I bought mine in a box. DVD. From Amazon US. Prices fluctuate wildly, like the stock market. I bought Plus when the price dipped for a day to two to $50 USD. (Or maybe it was $45?) Still requires Internet for online activation. And for update.

After installation, I removed a few of the unasked for components, as some have suggested here.

Last changed by pmikep on 7/5/2020, 7:25 PM, changed a total of 1 times.

Started with MEP 11, then 17, then MX, then MEP 2013, 2015, then 2016. Changed to the fast competitor after that, which worked fine with my non-Intel hardware. Then bought a used Dell with an Intel GPU, just to play with MEP again. Installed MEP 2020 Plus in March 2020, even tho I don't like losing patches if I have to reinstall after a year.

Testing on a Dell Vostro, <s>i3-8100</s> updated to i5-9400 w/ UHD 630, 16 GB 2400 DDR4 (CL15), Win10 Home, heavily NTLite'd. Now with GTX-1650 Super OC'd. Added a WD Blue M.2 for OS (PCIe 3), Apps, Temps and Video-In. 2 Monitors. A WD Blue SSD for outputs. (SATA III.)
