Update Service Poll

[Rob-Xar]

Rob is magix marketing Xara or they are Managing Xara?

They are in-charge of marketing & sales since October last year. They don't manage us and the update service / licensing is a Magix thing.

So,actually magix is managing xara.
He who holds the key makes the other stay indoors,
whatever you want to do within your house is up to you
but you can't leave.

No, Magix do not manage Xara. Not sure how you can twist a no into a yes.

This what you stated and sometime before about the installers
You may create the software but magix does the rest.
forcing us to use the cloudbased content,which should be free to all and have a xara section if you want to make a buck of of it.
There should be a members section where we could sell our stuff too.
And forcing a license system that doesn't work
And also the marketing conduct by putting the upgrade messages into your face
You don't control that but it is in our face every time we use a xara product
And a support system that doesn't seem to work and makes people come here to complain ,making you go try to find out what is going on.

Yes Steve,
But if we all roll over and say amen to every half baked statement,we will get nowhere,now do we.

To get back onto the topic of the Poll, I think the older demographic is more that we have had longer at discernment so we know what is good and what is just flash.

So raise Update Service issues with Magix directly, faults with the Desktop applications in the Dear Xara forum here in TG.
Elsewhere in TG, help each other and prove the Desktop applications are relevant and powerful for Web, DTP, vector and imagery.
