Making Software Discs to Sell
There are numerous Software Titles available which are licensed in a way that makes them 100% legal to distribute on CD and make a charge. Much of this software is of very good quality saving the user a lot of money. Most PC users are not aware of what's available or how easy its is to download install and use. A Quick look on auction sites like ebay reveals many successful businesses selling such discs. Software Collection Manager provides an easy an quick method to make CDs for sale. The process is very simple, just make a list of the titles you would like to include on the disc (check the license agreements allow redistribution and sale). Next using your favorite download sites or the software publishers own site, download your selected titles. Use the other information on the download site to fill in the details about each software title (descriptions, system requirements etc...). Remember to include a link to the publishers web site that can be used by your customers for support, tutorials etc. After all your titles have been added use Software Collection Managers 'export' function to export to CD. Open the folder containing your CD files and using your CD burning software copy all these files to CD. The CD will be an auto running Software CD complete with windows installer an disclaimer message. It is advisable to run a virus and spy ware check on any discs you make using an up to date virus and spy ware scanner. Design and print a CD label, attach to your disc and you are ready to sell your first software CD. Using the project file functionality provided in Software Collection Manager it is easy to make CDs with differing contents or change the contents of a previous Disc without having to reenter an export list, this will help you to keep any discs you sell up to date. You could for example use the project file functionality to make an Office Disc for ebay, a Graphic design disc for a friend or maybe a Software disc for yourself to install on another PC.
