How to buy Family Tree Maker version 2014

As I would like to use what is best I tried to buy Family Tree Maker version 2014 and after some calls and googling I found out that 

• From the US you can't buy it as they don't accept Sweden as country you pay from (tested 2013-dec)
• In Swedish Ancestry they just promote the Free old version Family Tree Maker World Express
• Solution after speaking with Family Tree support in Ireland is buy from Ancestry in the uk. Then you can download the version and pay with a credit card ==>
