Sadly quite often these days the Vocaloids coming out of Japan that are sold via Yamaha lack physical copies. One of the reasons Nana went over to AHS was AHS offered physical copies for sale.

Digital downloads offer a better profit for companies, which is why software in general is moving slowly away from physical copies. Plus, digital copies cannot be re-sold

''There some gaming companies who see a certain amount of lost potential profit for them whenever a gamer buys a second hand copy instead of a new copy... Yeah... Gaming companies are that pitiful. ¬_¬''

But generally speaking, there may come a day when very few or no physical copies are sold at all for any software. Certain vocaloids like Piko either started out as digital only and got a physical later, or either have no physical copies anymore or went digital only like Leon, Lola, Miriam, Big Al, Sweet Ann, etc. You best bet is to try;
