Software CD note: This product includes a software CD. Many modern computers no longer include an optical (CD/DVD) drive. Before ordering, confirm with us whether drivers are also available as a download — most modern operating systems (Windows 10/11) recognise USB smart card readers automatically without additional drivers, but older systems or specific card types may require the software. Contact us if you need driver download information.
