Hello,

I was wondering if anyone can tell me what does the "security device enclosed" mean?  it's on the CD case I bought from Costco. I didn't open it yet. I thought it should be a security code/key inside the CD case which you can apply it when you launch the app. But it said "device" I am confused... I was going to pass the code to my son and let him to use it, but if the key is a phisical "device", then I will have to mail it to him which is not option for me.

 

Please help me to idetify it.

 

Thanks in advance

    That is an anti theft item that costco uses to stem theft of the product ... when you buy it the cashier deactivates it.

    Never heard of that.  I think it's a Costco thing for shoplifting.  Ask Costco.

    If you are having an issue due to a security device still being on the product (which is the nature of this thread); please contact the company you purchased it from for assistance @product for 1041 return.
