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.

Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
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

I already have the latest version afaik.
Getting so tired of this. It looks like xara’s desktop base is now being asked to prop up the online program. I can’t work out why else it’s being done this way.
It shouldn’t be this convoluted. Anything that needs a flow chart to work out isn’t clear enough.
there are two channels now
the one that updates through magix, whiere renewal is optional, but you lose access to OCC and some other stuff if you don't
the one that you can now get directly from xara, where renewal is not optional and if you don't renew you loose access to the entire program [this option is called 'pro+' and integrates with xara cloud]
if, as I suspect, you are on the first channel and happy to stay there, you don't really need to worry about any of this
if you post up your version number someone can verify you are up to date
the situation is not helped for those on the first channel by magix update notification system glitches
