TL;DR: Use the official stores below to buy licences, then choose a local setup partner. Digissential is the hands-on option for Stellenbosch with affordable, ID-verified installs, clean configurations, and CPA-compliant receipts.
Whether it’s Microsoft 365 for coursework, Creative Cloud for design, or a clean stack for a home office, software setup goes faster (and causes fewer errors) when accounts, licences, and device settings are handled correctly. This directory lists official purchase links and local shops that can help—plus how Digissential goes further with ID-verified installs, no bloat, and a receipt you can file.
How Digissential helps (hands-on, local, compliant)
-
Software Install (Standard)
Single device/app set: account sign-in, MFA, clean install, updates, and basic integration (file associations, printers, default browser). -
Software Install (Bulk)
Multi-app or multi-device rollouts for homes, student houses, and SMEs: repeatable profiles, local account policy tweaks, and post-install checks.
Why choose us?
- ID-verified sign-ins so licences stay in the right hands.
- Clean builds (no toolbars or shady “optimisers”).
- POPIA-aware access: you can watch the entire process.
- CPA-compliant receipts and a short handover note of what changed.

Quick chooser: who to contact?
| Need | Best first stop | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Buy/renew Office or Creative Cloud | Official stores | Correct plan, safe billing, trusted downloads. |

What we configure (beyond “next, next, finish”)
- Accounts & MFA: sign-in, authenticator/app passwords as needed, recovery methods verified.
- Clean installs: official packages, correct language variants, no bundled junk.
- Updates & integration: Office/Adobe updates, file associations, fonts, colour profiles (where applicable).
- Performance sanity checks: startup load review, disk space, and basic thermal check so installs don’t stall.
- Documentation: brief handover of versions, activation state, and who holds the keys.
Common pitfalls (and the fix)
- Wrong edition/region → confirm plan and region before purchase.
- MFA roadblocks → bring the phone with the authenticator; add a backup method.
- Licences on the wrong account → we verify identity and ownership before activation.
- Stuck pending updates → install OS updates first; ensure 15–25 GB free.
- “Free” download sites → avoid. We’ll fetch directly from Microsoft/Adobe.
When to book Digissential (saves time & rework)
- New device for a student or SME that must be ready the same/next day.
- Migrating from older Office/Adobe and want templates, fonts, settings carried across.
- Multiple devices needing consistent profiles and receipts for finance.
- You want POPIA-aware help with minimal data access and oversight.

FAQs
Q: Do you keep my passwords?
A: No. We ask you to enter them (or we enter while you observe), and we don’t retain credentials.
Q: Can you move my old files and templates?
A: Yes—basic migration of templates, fonts, and settings is included on request; complex moves are quoted upfront.
Q: Will I get proof for accounting?
A: Yes—itemised, CPA-aligned invoice plus a short note of software versions and activation state.
Q: Do you offer remote setup?
A: Yes—great for quick Office installs. Bulk or Adobe Pro installs are usually smoother in-shop or on-site.
