Retired

Now that WebStyle is retired, how long will the templates be available? I purchased them all, however they are not on my CD, only available via downloading them. I hope the program will continue to be supported for some time, because I format my machine often and reinstall my aps. Without being able to download the templates would make my purchase worthless. I have Web Designer now and it has downloadable templates, which I liked.

You could save your downloaded templates to some form of removeable media - floppy disc, cd rom, pen drive, external hard drive etc.

So if I back up my template directory and reinstall next time, and just copy them into the template directory they will work?

I have never tried that myself so I cannot say it will or will not work.

I haven't tried what you are suggesting (I don't use Webstyle) - ie backing up your templates directory, but saving your original downloaded files in the way I suggested should mean that you can reinstall them after a format.

Bob I am not sure that would work. I believe there is an update to the registry when a template pack is downloaded and automatically installed. It is an automated process done from within Webstyle. No external action is required by the user. Simply click on icon in Webstyle and it finds what template packs you have purchased by checking your Xara Account. It downloads, installs, and updates the registry.


I do not know what time frame Xara Group Ltd plans to maintain the downloads for the Webstyle template packs.
