Expiration of Designer Pro

**Peter Prewett** · 05 July 2017, 10:56 AM

I am not upgrading the price is far to high for me, $179 AU, and the little that was supplied last year is just not worth it to me.
As a customer since Acorn days and upgrading every year since about 1982 I am sorry to leave, Xara must have had thousands of dollars from me over the years and much more when I was selling computers.
Bye Bye Xara.

I have more computers and virtual machines than is sensible.

When I upgraded DP from V11 to V365 I was able to do 4 activations, 2 for V11 and 2 for V365.

Will an upgrade of V365.1 to V365.2 give me separate activations for each year ?

depends - if you buy an upgrade, no - but if you buy a new full licence yes - that is how I understand it anyway, and if that is so it is another negative side to the 365 model...

I think handrawn is right. I upgraded and didn't get a new key.

That's pretty shitty. It should have been less than $99 for the upgrade then.

Thanks Magix

Those days are gone. Only if Xara chooses to produce a v13 folder will there be a chance of having two available executables.

Contact Xara as you may not have been correctly flagged as a 365 returning user.

Strange thing is,back in May 2017 it showed 129 Euro inc vat, which we already found to be steep
Now Xara asks me to cough up 159 euro inc vat

WTF happened in a month to be f*cked like this.

See discussion back in May https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...622#post575622

and my screengrab of todays deal
