Answers.Text: Thanks for your answer. But the bonus subscription to ICC lasts only one single month? This seems very little. I had found this article http://susanpolgar.blogspot.fr/2014/01/komodo-worlds-strongest-chess-engine-3.html which said the subscription to ICC lasted 3 months (but that offer expired February 1 2014). And even more importantly: are you sure the link you've given offers Komodo in a physical CD? I don't want to just download it...

ThreadText: # Where can I buy the chess engine Komodo? Do I get somekind of bonus premium membership with it? And when will its next version be released?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2014-08-16)
  
  I have three questions about the chess engine Komodo.
  
  Firstly, where can I buy and order it? I would like to have it in a CD (not just download it). I went into the website of a chess store near where I live (Paris), but it apparently does not sell Komodo (but it sells Fritz, Houdini, Hiarcs, Junior, Rybka and Shredder).
  
  Secondly, do I get a "bonus" with Komodo? When I bought Fritz and Houdini I got a bonus of one year premium membership into a chess server called "Playchess". Do I also get something like that with Komodo?
  
  Thirdly, does anyone know when will the next version of Komodo be released approximately? Because if the version 8 gets released soon, then there's no point in buying the version 7 today.
  
  I found the release dates of all the previous versions of Komodo:
  
  * Version 4: December 2011
  * Version 5: June 2013
  * Version 6: October 2013
  * Version TCEC: December 2013
  * Version 7: May 2014
  
  So it seems the version 8 will be released very approximately in November..
