    Thanks Acorn, I actually did it from memory quite late last night, so I’m not surprised. Me old noggin isn’t as good as it used to be at retaining things. I’ll amend it later, if anyone else comments.

    Here's an updated version of my take on the Update Service, incorporating Acorns important point about losing access to unused/non-downloaded Content Catalogue content.

    So what have we got at present. From a poll of 21 TG members:

    76% are Totally Displeased
    19% are Moderately Displeased
    5% are Indifferent
    Nobody is Moderately Happy or Totally Happy.

    I've no idea of the current user base of Xara software is. Here we can only judge from TG contributors, however disproportionate. 95% of users in TG are unhappy with the current update service and / or don't understand it.

    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.

    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.
