Box? I thought you downloaded it?
I do agree with you: online vendors should retain records of purchases.
However, then they become liable for the security of your personal
information and for loss of data. That's a big risk!

I knew I purchased it but thought it odd that I did not keep the box.
Especially thought it odd that after I read there were three peel-oof
serial number stickers and also thought it odd that I could not ffind
original disc (Mine marked "first burn")
So ... pondering all this has now convienced me that I downloaded it.

Some venders keep that info. Kudos to them.

I don't think they keep a record of purchases but the ones I've dealt
with keep a record when you register the software.

Although you can register, ScanSoft (Dragon), as of ver 8, uses a
constant activation process. Apparently previous versions were higghly
pirated so the went to activation. Much like Windows XP. Illegal copies
only work for five times. Serial numbers can be use many more but I do
not know how many times.
