quick photoshop product question
 

This may pertain to other items as well, in looking at purchasing photoshop I see some shops selling the license only, no CD or manual? why would this be.

added- also see CD roms for sale new, no box or manual.

Thanks

I have yet to see this, so I'll take a wild guess... For those who have downloaded the demo, and would like to have a registered version? Mind you, this has been a wild guess. If this had been an actual answer... :)

Sometimes schools or offices need to purchase additional licenses for software they already own. No need to ship 10 CDs when you can just install the current copy on all computers and use the new licenses to register the product.

Ah ha, Andres I think you have it, (why didn't I think of that).
Thanks
