Well, I've received mine this morning but I'm wondering when the printed manual (part of the offer) will arrive
I'm thinking that you guys who already received theirs must live right next door to Xara and Charles simply popped them in your mailbox on his way home from work.....
sure London is just at the bottom of the lane :D
Upgrade CDs are going out now, but note that upgrades do not include the manual.
The offer I saw DID appear to include the printed manual but it looks as if I misread the offer. On http://www.xara.com/uk/products/xtreme/upgrade, after selecting the last version, it says that the manual is included, and then there is a note underneath saying that it isn't. As the page relates to upgrades, that note is, to my mind, not that fairly placed and I suggest that the page be updated, please. While I wonder if anyone else fell into what was no doubt an accidental trap, I also wonder if I can buy a manual!
I got mine this morning in the north of UK.
I have just installed it and I am sure it installed the movies but when I go to them there is just a box with a red cross in and the name of the movie at the side but they don't run.
Got my CD this morning too. Video tutorials intact ... not gloating Freebit, just for info :)
Hhahah
For some reason they are showing now.
When we get CD's is it best to just install over download version or delete download version and install CD. Does it matter at all?
I think the option I used was 're-install'. It's worked anyway, with all the gubbins plus settings from the download version, extra plug-ins found etc.
Received my CDs today in Austria, they are making their way through Europe it seems.
I also was under the impression that I would receive a printed manual.
AFTER I select upgrade from 3.2PRO it says IN BOLD LETTERS :"450 page printed manual."
and below it says that it would not.
This is very misleading to say the least, if I would not know Xara was a trustworthy company, my word for it would be much harsher than just "misleading".
I suggest to quickly change that on the Xara-Homepage ...

Got mine in Northern Ireland, about to install :-)

Does not seem to accept my password and let me register the product - then when I ask for a password reset that screen does not work!
Do I need to register again?
I can login using the password to the xara site, just not the product reg page.
Turan
That happened to me too. The product's already registered I think you'll find :)
Yes, you were given the registration code when you paid for it, along with an activation code for the download version.
Has anyone on this side of the pond received their CDs yet?
Pony Express not made it to Glendale, AZ USA yet. But I am sure it will be here shortly.
nope... :(
Remember guys...
There is a different activation code for the CD than for the Download. both should be in your Settings on the xaraclub download page. The last CD I got (3.2) had the Activation number as a sticker on the CD case also...
unless you have lost the case already...:rolleyes: :)
Couldn't tell you if it has a sticker on the 4.0 case... I don't have mine yet. :(
Sticker on the CD envelope ... they don't trust me with sharp bits of plastic :)
I've received mine this morning (France) ! :) :) :)
CDs arrived in North East UK yesterday - serial number on the envelope.
Installed fine, but registration page will not accept my email and password details. (I know these are correct, same details used to purchase/register every Xara product we have.)
Password reminder function says 'not available'.
Should I therefore go through the registration process again?
Indeed - though note the site is de.xara.com so likely to be some Majinxed system rather than Xara's own. They send enough spam without observing unsubscribe requests as it is, so you're probably best off forgetting the extra registration - it seems to work fine without it!
Had the same issue, but I think I'm right in saying the product was registered when you paid for it. Check on the xaraxone, CD code should be the same :)
**EDIT** Sorry, meant http://app.xaraonline.com/ not xaraxone :o
When I think clipart, I think ghastly corporate Microsoft stickmen. The new clipart on the XXP4 CD is superb. The brochures and websites in particular. Really very well presented use of Xara’s simple to use tools to good effect. A great resource. Why have I been using clipview all this time and not bitmap fill?
when you buy this program online,how fast they reply you with activation key.?
Received my CD today here in St. Paul, Minnesota.
.joroho.
May Wolfgang and I, please, have a response from Xara on the manual? The page is still the same as it was.
CD arrived in Beaverton, Oregon, yesterday in mail.
About the manual information.
You can go to the Try It download page at Xara.
http://www.xara.com/us/downloads/xtreme/
and click on the Release Notes link. It will bring up a PDF file with substantial documentation.
OR
Open the Release Notes PDF on the Second CD.
My copy arrived in Australia yesterday (2nd May). The CD has a pdf manual and the serial number is pasted on the CD packet. I also love the fact that whenever I get a new CD from Xara it always comes with a second disc of tutorials going back to 1997. No other software company comes close. Thanks Xara...awesome.
The plug-ins that they claim you get, are those demos or full versions of the plug-in? I ask because the ones on the trial version of xara are demos.
Received mine today in New Jersey, USA the Garden State. (well maybe not so much of a Garden anymore). Received in excellent cond. even on it's trip to this side of the pond.
Still no CDs here in British Columbia, Canada, but I'm sure it won't be much longer.
