...so unless I am missing something, this claim is false.

I received an invoice, and the money has been withdrawn from my bank.

No other email has been sent to me with a download link. (checked spam folder)

In "My Account" ...Order Status says "Processing".

I did order the box version, but saw no other option, as in "download only version"

Did they forget to mention weekends don't apply ?...possibly ?

There is no option for a "trial" with the X5 Premium (upgrade).

If the "immediate download" does not apply to boxed versions, why don't they state this ?
