Product Key Card (PKC) can only be installed on 1 computer. If you buy a new computer, you need to buy a new Product Key Card.
- Retail versions can be installed on a new PC.
- PKC needs to be ~25% cheaper (~75% the cost) to be worth it if there is, say 50% risk of buying a new PC.
- ( Retail Packaged Price ) = ( Product Key Price ) * ( 1 + Chance you’ll need to upgrade your PC)
- ( Retail Packaged Price ) / ( Product Key Price ) = ( 1 + Chance you’ll need to upgrade your PC)
- ( Retail Packaged Price ) / ( Product Key Price ) > ( 1 + Chance you’ll need to upgrade your PC) ==>> buy PKC
- ( Retail Packaged Price ) / ( Product Key Price ) < ( 1 + Chance you’ll need to upgrade your PC) ==>> buy Retail
- Eg:
- Retail = $200
- PKC Price = $150
- Chance upgrade = 50%
- 200 / 150 ?? 1 + .5 ==>> 1.3 < 1.5 ==>> buy Retail
- Eg:
- Retail = $200
- PKC Price = $100
- Chance upgrade = 75%
- 200 / 100 ?? 1 + .75 ==>> 2 > 1.75 buy PKC
- Eg:
- Retail = $200
- PKC Price = $175
- Chance upgrade = 10%
- 200 / 175 ?? 1 + .10 ==>> 1.14 > 1.1 buy PKC
- Eg:
- Retail = $200
- PKC Price = $185
- Chance upgrade = 10%
- 200 / 185 ?? 1 + .10 ==>> 1.08 < 1.1 buy Retail
