HTTP 504 error - Xara Designer Pro X v11

Dear Xara...

I have a lifetime licence for XDPXv11.

When I try to use it, I am getting a range of server errors, making the application unworkable.

you will have thought of this but does it load if internet disconnected

it has always been my concern that use of any XDA is server dependent sooner or later

I can run it cold as i disabled Internet access on default. I wanted to check the Online content catalogue and immediately got the 504s.

I have the nonce to work around such issues but I feel for anyone who hits these brick walls and just gives up.

Acorn

sure, they worry is will it persist - I am not able to check ver 11 at the moment...

Does reporting this: http://downloadsv11.xara.com/web/cat...js?bust=050515 help?
If flags a long execution time.

V10 OCC works but very slowly.

Are you simply letting servers and services die for older products?
Chugging along hoping no one notices is not an answer.

Acorn

Acorn,

I tried my version 11 today and did not receive any errors.

Ray

and I got round to checking ver 11 also - no issues that I can see with OCC, or else where - are you sure this is not a problem on your computer re the catindex?

Thank you Ray.

I am still failing to access the Online Content Catalogue:

You might be accessing yours through a different server.

I have just pinged the web address:

Code:

ping downloadsv11.xara.com

Retrying through the XDA, I finally got there!
http://downloadsv11.xara.com/web/catalog/index.html is now responding but glacially slow 10-20 seconds for a page, with some timing out still:

The reason for all this?
I wanted a quick access to the Clipart that Xara no longer offers in later versions.
Luck i already downloaded everything into my local Cache.

Acorn

I am glad you got it to work

and, yes, the legacy clipart is still very useful, we have been here before ;)

Just reinstalled XDP11 and tested downloading clipart. No problem here Acorn.
