Dell Digital Delivery
Dell Digital Delivery is an easy and new way to buy software when you purchase a computer. You can automatically download and install
available software titles on select computers. All it takes is an Internet connection and a few minutes- so you can enjoy the customization
Dell stands for, without the wait, and get right back to work.
How does it work?
Dell Digital Delivery allows you to purchase select software titles at the same time you purchase your computer. Then, when you receive
your computer, you can automatically download and install the software. Here’s how it works:
1. Purchase select software titles at the time your new computer is ordered.
2. When your system is powered on for the first time, you will be guided through setup, including how to connect to the Internet. A
broadband Internet connection is recommended.
3. On the second start of the system, a Dell Digital Delivery installer application will run automatically.
4. After the Dell Digital Delivery application starts, you will have the option to Download Now or Remind Me Later. If you choose
Remind Me Later, you will be asked again the next time the computer is started and on subsequent restarts until you decide to start
the download.
5. Once you select Download Now, the software will download and install automatically and indicate when setup is complete. If a restart
of the system is required, you will be prompted. Newly installed programs can be accessed from the Windows Start menu and will be
highlighted. You will not receive media (CDs or DVDs) or printed documentation for software purchased using Dell Digital Delivery, as
an online restore capability is provided with your purchase.
Reinstalling Software
The Dell Digital Delivery application enables you to reinstall purchased software applications without physical CDs or DVDs; your system
and software license information is saved by Dell.
• Basic reinstall – To reinstall a specific program purchased through Dell Digital Delivery, select Start > Programs > Dell > Dell
Digital Delivery. The program will start and allow you to download any purchased programs not currently installed on the computer

• Reinstall with license key – certain applications require a license key to be entered during the install process. In the Dell Digital
Delivery application window, View Key will appear next to any software program which requires a license key. Click View Key to
display the license key. If View Key is not visible, a license key is not required.
• Dell Digital Delivery client application reinstall – the Dell Digital Delivery client application is required to install any software you
have purchased through Dell Digital Delivery. If the client application has been uninstalled from your system, it can be downloaded and
installed from the Dell Support Website. Click Drivers and Downloads, then enter your computer’s service tag to find the Dell Digital
Delivery software.
