Click on Make an order.
In the navigation menu on the left in the category Catalog select Software.
Next, select the operating system of the device you want the software installed on: macOS, UNIX / Linux or Windows.
Be aware that the letter in front of the software name is correct when selecting the software package:

Click Add to cart.
In the next step, set the device you want the software installed on in the field Choose computer as target. It usually shows up automatically. If you are using several devices, click on the magnifying glass symbol to select the correct device.
Then, click Add to cart again.
