Pro Upgrade price

[RKissane]

What the window says is Upgrade service window expires in 28 days which is when my time is up on July 11th. When I click on the button it takes me to the upgrade page. I do not see anything for renewal. I am wondering if Magic changed the name of the renewal to upgrade?

You might be right, Ray. I've just been browsing Xara's website and couldn't find any link to the update service except through the upgrade button. What a royal mess it all has become!

Good luck and keep us informed!

Both of the above correspondents would seem to be of above average intelligence. They can write coherent sentences, with subjects and predicates, also verbs, nouns, conjunctions, all in the correct order and they make themselves understood with absolute clarity.
Why is it then, that they are made to appear absolute dunderheads because they cannot get their heads around the Magix/Xara Update-Upgrade conundrum?
Who might be at fault here, do you think?
For my money it is Magix/Xara, who are operating what appears to be a 3 Card Trick which is confusing to all who encounter it. Not just in this thread...there are plenty of other examples littered throughout Talk Graphics.
The company should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves for using these shabby methods in order to get loyal customers to part with their cash for what amounts to very little at all.

{Edit} And while I'm on the subject, why has there been no response here from somebody in the company's employ who does know what the consumers' rights are in this matter and set the minds of there concerned people at rest? Chief Executive Officer perhaps?

I'm flattered. Thank you, sir!

not being a paid up member of the xara lemmings trap since xdpx11 i feel slightly smug
yes i'm bitter and cynical
because i'd so much rather have remained a loyal xara supporter

One comfort, however, is that you're still a loyal TG-er. And that counts!

I've not upgraded since XDP11, either.
And I've not seen any reason(s) to do so.

It looks like the the price stays at $129.00 US. It is now June 15, and Magic site now says I have until June 21 to get this price. I think they just keep moving the date until I reach my expiration date in order to make it look like I am getting a great deal and to act now before the date passes. What a poor marketing strategy.

Don't do it Ray! You just know that you will regret it more if you do than if you don't. What have Xara/Magix done to suggest that you might actually benefit from upgrading rather than just sticking. It's hardly a case of double or quits, now, is it? You have no evidence that things will Magixly improve by you coughing up far too much cash for jam tomorrow. It ain't gonna happen. They are betting on you (and everyone else) buying into this weird strategy of theirs...these are the good guys, right?
