When does it end?

[handrawn]

yes but to be on the safe side I'd back it up - ie copy the folder it is downloded to somewhere else, if only because, if you have to reinstall the non-relicenced program, it will not re-install any of this

where C: is your system drive, the folder to copy as I recall [not using any of this overpriced fluff myself] is: C:\Users\your-user-name\AppData\Local\Xara\XtremePro\12\Cache\designs\eng

Even though I'm not handrawn..

The downside is that Xara has removed its limited application search function, so although you have everything, it is far harder to find it.
[RANT ON]The Xara claim was it was limited and not good enough, which in its push for on-line, has always seemed to be a fabrication to me.
If I can throw up an Excel extract of all the folder information and have that launch into either the folder location or open the XAR/WEB file then Xara could easily improve their built-in capability.[RANT OFF]

I still think that is a good thing that they allow us to keep all of that.

Xara always did and there was no ambiguity; now it is an unnecessary fight.

User Stories:

1. Paid-up Customer decides not to renew - loss of upgrades and potentially all Local Design gallery content
2. Xara removes a widget - loss of utility - the above
3. Xara mucks up content publication - loss of all Local Design gallery content - it has happened
4. Xara folds - loss of upgrades and potentially all Local Design gallery content

Prior to 365, I had a perpetual licence to the last upgrade and had a copy of the designs quite secure and could search for content.
As my major customers are not connected to the Internet and are running an Intranet, on-line content delivers nothing so I have to make do and mend.

In a business case to swing all design across to Xara, I cannot offer any assurances to my Customers.

Hi, I have a Xara Premium 365 (v15) License and had it activated on both my desktop and laptop with no problems.
I recently updated the desktop with the Win 10 x64 April Update v.1803 and now i have lost access to Online Content Catalogue.
It states i have to buy any content.
I tried running as Administrator, i uninstalled and reinstalled sometimes with no success.
Anybody can help me ?
Thanks a lot !
