Re: No my question was not complete. thread was closed before my final comments
Thank you.
I purchased in Feb 2020. I am locked in for version 16.3 I can play with any updates that come in during this 365 day but all will be lost if I do not upgrade to new version if I have to reinstall next year. Any content will be lost if I do not download/backup for reinstall.
Potentially...A year from now, I purchase the UPGRADE (currently $129) for whatever version is available.
That version is what I can reinstall from that point on. But any further updates & content would be lost if I had to reinstall.
Another program I am updating offered upgrade, with basic 90 day support or a support contract of a year.
I was thinking Xara 365 service was an optional support choice, different than just upgrading to new version for a year. Got it.
As I said before, these are as important as the capabilities of the program itself:
1. Work Offline (local content)
2. Reinstall on a new hard drive or new computer when necessary.
If the 365 service included reinstall of any update to same version (example up to 16.4 from 16.3) then the 365 days service makes sense.
Even with a clearer understanding of the 365 service, I am still convinced I will not accept any updates from here on out. Since I can not reinstall them without a new purchase, they are of no value to me until I want to upgrade to a new version.
