I purchased webroot for 5 devices and it comes with a cd, I just wanted to know if it is for a pc or for a mac.  I use Apple products and have been informed that my mobile devices aren't compatible with webroot.  So I would like to use the cd on an older pc I have in the basement I keep for faxing, it uses windows xp.  Otherwise I guess I'll have to go with another webroot option and have a credit?

The license for WSA is for 5 DEVICES where a device can be any mix of PC, Mac, iPad, phone (Android, iPhone, etc.). Personally I would not go by much store re. the CD as one can download the appropriate installer (assuming that you are not a Best Buy subscription customer) from here for PC or here for Mac.  But off course, if yo want to use the CD version then that is fine too. :D
 
A PC with WIndows WP will work fine with WSA and to be honest given that the PC is old and therefore harware challenged I suspect that the lightness of WSA on system resources will work a treat.

Thank you again, the PC that I want to install webroot on is Microsoft XP, and it is too slow to download anything at the moment.  That is why I am hoping the cd will be compatible with Microsoft PC.

Hello WSA is a very small file to download it's about 755kb so if even you are on Dial up it's not much to use WSA!
 
Thanks,
