The second way to get PureBasic is to purchase it, either by cheque or via the secure online purchasing system at the PureBasic website - http://www.purebasic.com. This gives you full access to all of PureBasic's power, entitles you to receive free updates and one price gives you the full PureBasic for multiple operating systems (Windows, Linux and Mac OS X). With this method you will also be helping to secure the continued development of PureBasic. If you order PureBasic "offline" (i.e. by cheque) then you will be sent a CD containing the PureBasic package. This is exactly the same as the "online" version of PureBasic, for which you will be sent a web link and password from which to download it.
The final method to get PureBasic is to buy a reduced price full version from retail outlets. This has all the benefits of the second method and a reduced price, but has the disadvantage that you are not entitled to free updates.
