    Default Designer Pro X - You Must Be Online to Use This Feature

    Greetings --

    I ran into an issue that's a first for me with Xara products: it seems that my copy of Designer Pro X (365: version 15.0.0.52427) will not connect online to Xara / Magix servers as of around 12:00AM EST, 3/13/18. The tab for the Local Designs gallery has "(Offliine)" appended to the tab title, and when I check for updates (Help/Check for updates...), there's a blink, a long pause, and then I get the error message indicating "You must be online to use this feature".

    I've verified that I am, in fact, online: I opened email and several web pages before and after attempting the online activity with Designer Pro. I shut down the program and restarted. I rebooted and restarted. No change in results. I checked my account status on Magix.com, and it noted that the v15 version of Pro X365 was activated on my laptop on 3/8/18. The Pro X365 license is "valid until: unlimited", and the update guarantee shows good until 8/6/18.

    Yet...I cannot get the application to be "online". Note: this WAS online earlier today. I've made NO changes in firewall or any kind of security in recent weeks.

    Any thoughts / suggestions would be most appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Jon

    Misleading, it was probably the Magix server that was offline as you weren't the only one.

    BTW: while the servers are apparently online, I was surprised that it took quite a long time to download assets to a local copy. It seems like the bandwidth allocated to these downloads must be very low.

    i found the servers came back but it took a long time for the services to recover.
