    sorry, it is not possible to update to ver 19

    magix have stopped selling it

    xara only sell the suscription service pro+ [ver 23]

    you can get information about upgrade discounts to the subscription model here : https://www.xara.com/welcome/ - by completing the section: GET YOUR DISCOUNT NOW

    but if you do not want to keep paying every year, then there are now no other options

    Best, Lex
    Lex, thank you for the Link.

    I have concerns.
    No opportunity for just buying an Upgrade.
    No idea if Magix will honour and offer the latest, i.e., V19.
    No testimonials.
    The site offers, @#5, MAGIX Xara Designer Pro X 2020, which seems to be the same but far cheaper.
    eBay offer this last one even more cheaply, from downloadbuyer. eBay is probably safer...

    All too random. I would contact Magix and ask if it is supporting any resellers for Xara products.

    Been away for a bit, and am sympathizing with the apparent sadness and confusion regarding recent business developments. I've read all the threads now, on this, and have one question- using our best intuition and experience, are we assuming Xara v24 desktop product will rise triumphantly from the ashes and shock the world in October? Or are the sober, grizzled veterans in the forum here thinking Xara pro desktop is, and/or will almost-certainly be, 'abandonware'? (Not talking cloud) (Don't like nor care about cloud, as is the case with many I know)

    Tallis, there will be a v24. There is no imperative to have it appear in October. If not a new version, as Xara is not longer tied to the Magix major version release, regardless of content, then continuing feature additions and upgrades should happen as normal.

    Xara Cloud uses the same underlying engine that the Desktop has. Xara Cloud cannot replace the Plus versions as it is still cannot achieve the Desktop functionality.
    No company would just cut off its revenue base, oh wait.

    Acorn - can an acorn be grizzled? I would also wonder about mangy as then I would be a Mity Acorn.

    Hmm. I too am looking at "upgrading". I have the Magix version 18.

    It would be incredibly disappointing if Xara went to a subscription-only model.

    'Magix v18' is primarily a Xara product; as a result of the Magix/Xara distribution agreement ending some FAQs (and answers) have been posted on the Magix website: https://www.magix.com/gb/support/mag...-distribution/.

    Xara is today a subscription only licence; it becomes a personal judgement whether you want to buy into the latest Plus versions, or are happy to stay on the older versions - IMO, there is not a lot of difference between Magix v18 & Magix v19.

    I went down the upgrade route with Magix - money-wise, there was not a lot of difference between the Magix annual update fee and the Xara annual subscription fee (when you looked at the Xara incentive deals). When Magix and Xara recently parted company, I opted to go the Plus route with Xara, but still retain my v19 installs. I found Xara open to discussing on-boarding with them and it maybe worthwhile having the similar discussion.

    Here is what was included in the 'upgrade' to version 19: https://helpandsupport.xara.com/xara...-0-release.htm. And here are the release notes for this upgrade: http://releasenotes.xara.hosting/designer-pro-x19/. And version 19.0.1, which is the latest version of the Magix-Xara editions of XDP, seems to have added nothing at all (at least, there are no release notes or the like for it).
