There are two ways to purchase AeroCard Universal. It is available in a retail package or your can download and evaluate before you buy online.
1. Retail Package. AeroCard Universal Retail package is available from catalog resellers stores and retailers in your area. Included in the package are Installer CD with drivers and User Manual, printed Quick Start Guide, and a serial number Welcome sheet. Use the serial number to activate your driver. Save the serial number welcome sheet on a safe place. You will need to re-enter the serial if you move the card to another Mac.
2. Evaluate First, Buy Later. If you like to evaluate the driver first, you can do so by downloading the evaluation driver here, which allows you to use the driver for 30 minutes. When you're satisfied with the performance and compatibility of the driver with your card, you can then purchase a serial number online to activate the driver permanently. When the trial period expires, you will see a dialog that allows you to enter a serial number or purchase the driver. Click on the "Buy" button to start the online purchase process. Once connected to the Internet, it will direct you to our E-commerce provider, eSellerate, to purchase a serial number. The driver is $25. The purchase is 100% secure and all major credit cards are accepted. Once the purchase process is completed, you will be given a serial number that locks to your MAC address of the wireless card that you're using. Enter the serial number when asked by the Mac driver and immediately be validated; the time restriction will be removed.
