Hi, I'm searching for an old version of Xara Xtreme to buy, no luck on ebay or amazon.
Has anyone a phisical copy of Xara Xtreme (pro or normal, version 3 or 4 or 5) to sell and ship to Italy?
I can pay by paypal.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks, Andrea

I changed the 4 to a 5 and a download still happened.
What I have not done is install either as I already have XX5 installed. I do not know if these can be registered on-line or if there is a free licence number for either.
For a manual, you still have the Help (CHM) file and you could possibly buy Bouton's The Official Guide for XX5 from eBay.

Thank you for your reply... The links are very useful.Quote:

I've already asked to the official Xara support if it's possible to purchase or activate an old version, and the answer is no...
So i'm searching for a physical version, posting in this forum is my last chance!
Regards, Andrea.
somewhere I have a copy of xtreme [2005], before I go looking for it is it one you might want?
sorry, according to wikipedia versions 3 to 5 are between 2007 - 2009, so no...Quote:

acorn mentioned version 5; I feel sure there was a free edition, but it might have been limited in fuctionality; I might have a copy of that somewhere
Andrea, I have a near mint XX3.0 Pro:

The Licence Number is on the back of the box in my name.
Is this what you want or need?
I have XX4.0 & XX5.0 activation code emails separately with no physical copy.
I would like to understand why you need this before we discuss any sale.

saved me a trip to the back of the garage tomorrow :D
my two boys have each an old (and offline) xp desktop computer they can use the way they want. on those machines those version of xara are fast as hell, inkscape doesn't run very well. boys showed serious interest in computer graphics, and i think that xara is the best choice for them, an excellent quality software. the demos are amazing.Quote:

thanks, andrea.
Andrea, thank you. I will pull things together. I may have Bouton's Official Guide somewhere as well.
I will email you details soon.

Xara XS claimed a release date of 2005 but really it was released in early 2006, based on the previous year’s Xara X¹. It surfaced when Xara Xtreme 2 was released, and given away with magazines as a free promotional thing that had an option to upgrade to the new Xtreme 2 program.Quote:

I bought multiple versions of Xara Xtreme Pro 3.2, and if I knew how to give them to you, I would - I'll never use them again, I have a Pro+ subscription now. Ditto all the versions before and after it - I bought everything Xara sold for years. The Magix website doesn't show any serial numbers but I have them in the original order confirmation emails.
hi daniel
this is what i was thinking of [did a google] :
https://www.xara.com/us/specialoffers/designer/
but it ended long ago - I probably have the file and the key offline somewhere, I'm a squirrel whenit comes to software
older cd's you could copy all the files to computer and install from folder, so in theory you could just transfer that digtally, but it would be big, need a large file transfer site
the download for that offer is archived on wayback machine, the file is named Xara_Xtreme_5_Silver.exe, its size is 225MB and require registration and serial number to work. i don't know if the goal of registration is only to have a mail where to send the serial.Quote:

thanks, andrea.
I'll have a look but I don't think that I have any CDs. If I do, you're welcome to them. I'm not interested in selling anything, it holds no value to me - you can have whatever I've got, digitally or physically.Quote:

I'll be in Belgium in a few weeks, so I'll pack whatever I have and post it to you from there. The (now out of date) page you'll have seen with a listing and set of screenshots from old versions of Xara software is my website, you can contact me with the details there.
I don't think I ever saw that, I certainly didn't do it, and can't remember seeing it. I hope it helped users and Xara alike, great idea.Quote:
