Fanatical Creativity Bundle
Fanatical.com have a Creativity bundle https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/...undle-by-magix at the moment that includes XP&GD, which states explicitly that it includes the UPDATE SERVICE.
If I purchase this bundle, will my Fallback version be V18, as this is the version available when I register?
I know one or two people have tried this in the past ... what was the outcome?

Keith, I think I disagree. The only place the "UPDATE SERVICE" appears is the sticker on the product dustjacket. It is not covered elsewhere.
What I think you get is a version that is not updatable and does not see any of the promised sub-version updates in your year on Online Content Catalog [sic] access.
I believe you are stuck with that version and one year of on-line access to components. After that, you still have the products but no on-line access.
If you don't Download All locally, you lose a lot of fundamental stull, especially in XWD.
There is also nothing to indicate you are getting version 18.
At £25 it is cheap so expect similar.

Re: Fanatical Creativity Bundle
You're right, I did only see it on the dust cover (although it does say access for one year to the online content catalogue).
That's pretty much what I thought would happen too. Also, the version that is shown is V16 (I think), however, the last one I purchased was 15.0, so at the very least I avoid squishy/squashy. I have emailed Fanatical Support to confirm the version in the offer. I'll keep you posted.
Re: Fanatical Creativity Bundle
fyi - when i bought xdpx15.1 as a humblebundle I did not get the update service
Re: Fanatical Creativity Bundle
Did you get the Online Catalogue Content?

Re: Fanatical Creativity Bundle
In that case, I don't see a great deal of point spending C$37.75 to get a handful of programs I don't want and just get an upgrade to a Version I already have (until I reinstall).
Historically an Magix supplied upgrade has been C$39.99 ... now we're up to $54.99 ... it's quite a lot to pay for very little actual new (useful) content. I think I'll stick with the version I have.
I will still confirm which version is in the FANATICAL bundle once I find out.
Re: Fanatical Creativity Bundle
for me, my bundle allowed me to get ver 15.1 for £25 - the rest of the bundle was irrelevant, although I was able to pass two porograms on - for me as an upgrade from ver 12 it was worth it
Re: Fanatical Creativity Bundle
FANATICAL have confirmed that the XP&GD version in the BUNDLE is 16. I have asked about the UPDATE SERVICE, but don't hold out much hope it's included ... Again, I'll let you know when I know.
Re: Fanatical Creativity Bundle
I have just received this from Fanatical ...
"Hi Keith
We've received confirmation that XARA Photo & Graphic Designer 16 does come with the "Update Service"."
