I had similar concerns, but they've been assuaged. After I paid, I received a notice that I would receive a license key in about half an hour. And sure enough, that's what happened. Then I had to go to
https://www.installturbotax.com
which I believe is an Intuit site, to choose my product and enter my license key. They also registered it with Intuit, so that you can recover the license if you lose it. TT itself installed itself the same way it did when I used a CD. And it updated itself as well. So all is well. BTW, after installing TT, they ask where you purchased it, and gave choices of Amazon, Staples, etc., but did not list SoftwareDiscountUSA. So I had to check "other". And its working fine.
