Prox15.1 download

Hi all

It has been a couple of years since I posted and I used to use the user name nobbyy, but when I tried to post this thread I appear to have lost the ability to post, presumably because I have not posted for so long - so I set up a new profile - if anyone can advise how I can get my original unlocked I would greatly appreciate it!

Anyway now on to the reason for me posting - my main PC sufferred a catastrophic hard drive failure and annoyingly the clone of the hard drive that I kept for such an occasion turned out to be faulty! Doh!

I ended up buying a new PC and wanted to load Pro X15.1 which was the last version I purchased.

In the hard drive failure I encountered I lost all downloads so I contacted Xara who signposted me to Magix.

I logged onto Magix with my serial number and it recognised my purchase but when I tried to click on the download link it said there were no downloads available!!

I then tried to contact Magic support, explained the problem but still have not heard back from them.

Can anyone advise how I can obtain a copy of Pro X 15.1 please?

HI

look to see if there is another entry in your magix account for Xara Designer Pro X365 - this should download the latest version copy of designer pro that you purchased

Hi Handrawn - many thanks for the swift and helpful response.

I have checked my Magix account and unfortunately it only shows the entry detailing Pro X 15.1

Hi again

After Handrawn gave me the helpful advise to try and use a Pro x 365 link, I found an earlier product key for this and managed to get a download link.

I downloaded the programme and then installed an updtat that I was offerred.

So some progress in that I now have a working copy but the bad news is that it is version 12.6.

Any idea as to how I can get it to 15.1 please?

Would also appreciate any help you can give re unlocking my original talk graphics user account so I can post.

you will need to PM TG admin if you have porblems with your account

does version 12.6 have a product key tha begins with P2 or P3 ? - if it begins with P3 then going to program help and check for updates should update to your latest version

if not then you may have to wait for magix :(

you can contact them direct here infoservice@magix.net if you have not already done so...

I'll pass this along to Barbara B and see if she can get back your original user name.

Thank you that would be very helpful and gratly appreciated!

Acorn suggests using the Lost Password option https://www.talkgraphics.com/login.php?do=lostpw using your old information and then changing your password.

Have you tried this?

Thanks for the suggestion - changed password but still unable to post.

just to confirm, you can log onto your old account you just cannot post?

I can advise you of your older email if that is of any use.
There seems to be nothing in your old profile that would prevent you Posting.
If you succeed, let us know and we will remove nobbyy2 for you.

Hi - yes that is correct - I can log on and view, but the reply to thread and post new thread icons are missing.

But obviously not when you post as nobbyy2? That's really odd.

Tech support from Magix is non existent. Absolutely disgraceful. If it wasn't for this forum people would have nowhere to go.

gwpriester - yes very odd, I have attached a couple of screen prints - the top image is logged in as Nobby 2 and the reply to thread button is visible and the bottom image is a Nobby and no reply icon is available.Attachment 132120

Handrawn - apologies I have just re- read your post - I missed the bit about updating 12.6, I tried clicking on the link but all I got by doing this was an ad to buy the latest version.

actionit - you are absolutely correct, this is the response I receieved today from Magix:


I am afraid there is no download link available for this program version anymore as it is rather out-dated. The servers which were used for the activation have long been decommissioned.

If you are looking for a way how to update your current website you might want to do so via our free 30-day-trial version of the newest program version (19.0). You can download it via this link under the free download section: http://www.magix.com/gb/free-download/

The response does not make any sense in that as mentioned earlier I managed to download a copy of ProX 12.6 which obvioulsy pre dates 15.1.

I have responded to Magix stating that I am not happy with their response and asking for them to make a copy of 15.1 available to me, but I am really surprised that none of the other forum members have a copy of 15.1 in their archives.

Hi nobby. I'm pretty sure I have it, because I've saved all my downloads. I however didn't name them with the version all the time but put them in folders with the download date. I think the download dated 4-7-17 is the right one. I don't want to reinstall it to find out - I'm on 19.

Hi Yellowbird - thanks for the response.

The date o& your download seems about correct, I will check my PC and ge5 back to you.

The date for Xara Designer ProX 15.1.0.53605 is May 3rd 2018.

I know because I have the 32 bit version sat in front of me.

Hi nobbyy2. I can't message you. Tells me you have opted not to receive private messages.

Nancy, Nobby2 hasn't created enough posts to be able to send/receive PM's ;)

Thanks Egg.

Yellowbird that sounds great - could you PM me via my old profile, I should be able to receive PM's there, it is Nobbyy.

FWIW - ver11 is still in my account, I can download the installation program and the serial number starts with P3 so AFAIK the servers are still ok - and I last installed that program on 05 february this year... [xara keep improving thing so I sometimes need to use older versions for some functions that have been altered/removed]

I also have ver 15.1 for which the installer cannot be downloaded, but it was bought as part of a humble bundle so that is different; it will still install from my downloaded instalation file

nobbyy it wouldn't let me send a message to that one either. Here is the link https://www.dropbox.com/s/fll5ba2umf...53605.exe?dl=0 . If anyone else needs to download it they can. I'll leave it up for a while, I don't need the space. Nancy

Yellowbird - that is fantastic, thank you so much!!!! Only problem I now have is that Magix will not accept the serial number I enterered - even though I got it from their website in my account information!!! I have contacted support and await their response.

Handrawn - many thanks for taking the time to try and help, it is good to know that there are still very helpful people on the forum.

Acorn - any news on repairing my old forum profile? Dont know if this helps unravel the mystery of not seeing the icons ofr reply and new posts, but when I added the screenshots to my message the other day, when I logged in on my original account I could not see the screenshot, could it be some kind of 'view' issue?

OK. What I can try is use your original email address and claim I have forgotten your password.
This should send you a link to login and change your forgotten password.

I never get to see it as it comes to you.

Hi Acorn

I just tried resetting my password on my original account.

The password change worked but unfortunately still no posting links.

I hear back from Magix support via two different people re my serial number issue.

First response said that 15.1 was part of special promotion via 'Humble bumble' and that Magx could not help re the serial number issue and UI would need to contact HB.

The second support person was much more helpful and provided a file that allowed me to install 15.1.

I still think that Xara/Magix really need to sort out this mess of serials and online activation as I remember having problems in the past.

not all 15.1 are humble bundle - mine is as mentioned, maybe yellowdird's I don't know, but it was also a regular update in the magix stream

the only installation differences that I know are in the registry entries, but the serial numbers may be seperate

glad you got it sorted

when I look at my magix account products page it is a bit of a mess ...

I am totally confused by their serial number regstering process, I have purchased a number of versions from 12 onwards yet only 15.1 shows on their system.

IF I ever got back into the web design world I would have to have a serious think before I committed to buying another Xara/Magix product because of this.

I did not have a Humble bumble special- didn't even know what this was had to google it. I downloaded it directly from Magix.

I think that it may have been me that had the humble bumble special - I have a vague memory of purchasing an upgrade as part of a black friday deal, but I cant remember it being referred to as humble bumble!

Thanks again for all of your help!

@nobbyy2

In your account, do you see Xara Designer Pro X365 or one of the other products with X365? This is for anything from Xara version 12 onwards. You should have this. When you renew/upgrade, Magix just updates the Update Service expiry date; your serial number does not change. Thus, you will not see previous versions that you had under the Update Service having the same serial number. When you activate a version under 365, it will show up as in the image below. You can only have 2 at a time.

Attachment 132182

For any that do not have X365, and I have several, the serial number is only good for that particular version.

If you purchased from HumbleBundle and activated the serial number, it will show up in your Account, good for just that version.

Your serial number has to match the correct product and version.

Do you have more than one account with Magix? I don't mean the for the forum.
