I want to purchase a downloaded version of a cyberlink product. Can I burn it to a disc after I download it? The boxed version cost more money and to purchase the extended download costs more money. I would own the product, so how do I make it mine on a disc?

I'm not sure what the question is... is there something preventing you from burning it to a CDR as you would any other file?

i have bought downloadable virus scan software before and was unable to save it to a disk. When I reinstalled Windows The disk did not work. I had to call company an get new download. So is there a specific way I should save the software to be able to burn it to a disc?

I burn all my downloaded software to CDR or DVD. It is just a data burn - nothing more. Never a problem.

What are you burning with?l

It shouldn't be a problem but I've had issues with installing software burned to disc. All it's ever taken to fix it is copying the file back to my hard drive and then going into properties and making sure it's not read only.
