How to purchase smartsdr 2.x

My forum search is not finding what I want. I live in Switzerland and want to purchase SmartSDR 2.0 for my 6500 but when I visit the “buy” page on the Flex radio site I don’t see an option for SmartSDR. Possibly because I’m not in the US? I also recall needing a unique number related to my radio, is this the S/N number I’ll need to activate SmartSDR 2.0? I have a US credit card and address, is this a better option for the purchase? 73 Larry HB9EYQ

    Download & install V2 software. You will see a "Buy" button during the first run.

    Just as a side note - it is likely that you will be charged VAT in Europe. This is a legal requirement that Flex cannot get around. I'm only mentioning it so it doesn't become a surprise for anyone.

    Not that I am recommending tax avoidance, but if you use your USA Credit Card and USA Address I suspect that the software billing program will not add VAT

    Right, but in some states you will be charged sales tax because of state laws requiring sales tax to be collected for software downloads.
