I like to know when my Update Service expired / expires for my Xara Desktop applications (XDA).

The following setup for Notepad++ > Find in Files works for all your installed XDAs:

  • Find what: pugdate
  • Filters *.xml
  • Directory: C:\Users\[logonUseName]\AppData\Local\Xara\.


The result can be copied off and saved for use later.

Manually, you can navigate to each XDA's .info.xml file and open it instead.
This is only for version 12 up.
