Hey All - thought I'd chime in and clear up a few things:
1. The main reason we put the DVD download on the web is so teams can install prior to kickoff. We hope this will help at kickoff quick build sessions, so you aren't waiting on software installation.
2. The download is the same as the DVD you will receive in the kit. Along with the DVD in the kit, you will get a serial number for activation. For FRC 2014 each team will have a different serial number. Yes, you can use your team serial number on multiple computers.
3. I would suggest you uninstall last year's software - it expires anyway.
4. While this download is a good backup for a lost DVD, you will still need your serial number. Also, we have always been good about sending a replacement DVD for a team stuck without software - I don't expect that to change.
5. As in years past, you will still need to download the FRC update to get the LabVIEW WPI Libraries, Utilities, and Driver Station.
6. One change this year that isn't clear in the download description is that you do not need the DVD in order to install just a Driver Station. A complete Driver Station can be installed using just the FRC update.

Cheers,
