The Xara Desktop Applications with and without the Update Service

[Acorn]

For interest, update of Affinity range (Publisher, Designer, Photo) from 1.8.0 to 1.8.2 was: Download: Update > Yes > (Setup completed successfully) > Close.

@Xara - go figure it out.

Yip - really simple. I'm running Designer & Photo too - really impressed with them besides a couple of niggles

All, in Xara's defence of its delivery around Xara Designer Pro+, this is now as simple.

Those on Magix Update Service delivery for the other XDAs - no change from Magix.

Sorry I could not follow that upgrade document. I just don't get it.

I believe there has been an update but my desktop program XDP is saying I am up to date. I can't find how to update to 2020 without having to sign up to the online service which I will never use. Is this the end of the road? Are we forced to have the online program to get the update to the program that I already own and which has several months left on its renew cycle?


So tired of all this. It used to be so simple. And what we wanted.

Yeah was better before the 365 in my opinion, seems like we have lost much of our user base since, could this be one of the reasons TG is suffering and no longer the fun and vital place it once was?

EDIT: We do not OWN the program but lease it.

Thanks.

So can I get the August update or not? It’s not coming in if I try manually from the Check for Updates.

if you are still have an active update service and are still on version 16, download the latest version 17 and install it using the activation key you were given when you purchased version 16

magix update service does not cross version numbers afaik
