    Default Re: Serif DrawPlus anyone?

    Thank you all, people, for answering almost all the questions I was thinking of.
    I feel like every designer / artist sometimes wants to try out something different, but I discover myself coming back to Xara again, everytime.
    Well, have a nice sunday!

It ensures that DrawPlus 8 has full functionality within the Vista operating system as well as the previously supported operating systems of Windows® 98 SE, Me, 2000, or XP. This patch also tackles a number of issues discovered after the release of DrawPlus 8, for which we apologise."

    think upgrade only works with CD version
    to upgrade the download trial you need to use online update from within the program
    I.m using XP not vista, but this is what I gather from reading this link sledger supplied
    http://www.serif.com/forum/ViewThrea...d=29317&Numb=1

    EDIT: just checked - the link goes on to say:

    "....Patching can be done manually by going to the downloads page OR by using the "Check for update from web" option in the Help Menu of DrawPlus 8. The patch is 14.7 MB in size. This is a patch that updates the installed files and requires that you have installed a CD version (not the download version).

    Please note that if you purchased the downloadable version from this site that you will need to use the option "Help>Check for Updates from web" within the program..... "
