Winning starts with what you know
The new version 18 offers completely new possibilities for chess training and analysis: playing style analysis, search for strategic themes, access to 6 billion Lichess games, player preparation by matching Lichess games, download Chess.com games with built-in API, built-in cloud engine and much more.
Many computers nowadays no longer come with an optical disk drive. That's why nearly all ChessBase products are also available as a digital download. Other than nostalgia, there's little reason to own a physical DVD of any of your favourite ChessBase tools or content these days. Ditching the disk means you don't have to worry about your three-year-old's fingerprints, keeping track of packaging, or finding all your old DVDs when you upgrade your PC. Everything is available in your Shop account.
First, you go to the ChessBase Shop to log in:
The ChessBase Online Shop (click or tap to enlarge)
Click or tap the login link, enter your username (or email) and your password for the shop and hit the red login button. Once you are logged in, you can access your downloads directly. Just click on "My Downloads" tab:
After logging in "My Downloads" appears in the menu of the shop
From My Downloads, the list of all your purchased ChessBase products will be displayed.
If your product list is long it might help to sort the list according to product groups by clicking the corresponding tab, e.g. "Training" or "Databases":
Databases
If you click or tap on a specific product you see the serial number and the download links for this item.

"My Databases" with activation key (will be where you see "Serialnumber" above) and the corresponding download links
You can install and activate the programs and DVDs on three of your devices. If you buy a new computer (or device) and already reached the maximum number of product installations, deactivate the product on one of your old devices. After that, you can activate the product on your new computer or device.
