What the hell are Xara and Magix up to?
I followed Acorn's excellent advice but the update page just pushes you to XDP+ I don't want or need their Cloud service but there appears to be no option to download X17, only pro+ or old versions. I've been using Xara for years but seriously considering not bothering to renew the update subscription.
Finally went onto the Magix site where I was able to download the X17 trial and then register with my serial number. What a palaver.
My bad, I failed to notice Xara has changed its own site download to Designer Pro+.

The Magix download is probably still http://dl03.magix.net/designerprox17_dlm.exe.

Xara has to start selling Xara Designer Pro+ with Xara Cloud+ in its breakaway from Magix.

Prepare to be ignored or left behind or worse.
