Just remember, if you have to reinstall, what you will have will be whatever the state was when you last paid, and you get to keep any new content that you downloaded. Also, you will no longer have access to on-line content, so you better have downloaded everything that you want. This has all been explained ad nauseum and is well-explained on the Xara site. So why is this so hard to understand?

Users do not seem to understand they already have next year's upgrades, which they may have been seduced to use and so are tied in already.

Bowing out now loses on-line access. Yes, download everything you can but Xara has altered the base application by removing the Find capability.
Canny users can always resurrect Version 11 as it still can access its On-line Content Catalogue; this sadly has no Find but V11 itself has!
