    Congrats, we'll see how long it take Xara to fire it all up for the rest of us as we've hit the weekend.

    I had a go with the v17.0 install.

    The only difference i have for this installation it that it seems to block my prior installs of v16.3.1 so I can not run two versions of both at the same time.
    I have found this essential previously when a version is that buggy that I have to revert back.

    I reckon I'll just run v17.0 as a trial for now.

    There is always a disappointment.

    I run both versions. Just enter your serial number from the 16 version. Both versions operate simultaneously.

    Not if you have two installs of v16.3 already.

    Info Re: If I buy Designer Pro X v16, will I get v17 for free?

    The MagiXara fandango:

    • Download v17.0.
    • [Queried] Deactivate second install of v16.n.
    • Register v17.0.
    • Run as administrator.
    • Check over MS Registry settings you have previously changed and/or use XaReg to get things back to how you want them.
    • Set up Custom Toolbars, change XML settings, reconsider blocking Magix "phone home" folders, etc.
    • Check %localappdata%\Xara\XtremePro\17\Cache\ Properties: 250 files, 242 Folders, 2.83MB. Empty all bar First Look > Introduction.
    • In Local Designs gallery, Right-click First Look folder and select Download All: Cache now (277 files, 3.53 MB).
      • Basically, the Free Example Components Folder is populated (1 OCC page, 28 files, 713 kB).

    • Repeat for other top level folders. Expect a long wait, so prioritise:
      • Components (8 OCC pages, 3,014 files, 106 MB)
      • Print (22 OCC pages, 8,391 files, 688 MB)
      • Presentations (3 OCC pages, 1,174 files, 51.0 MB)
      • Social Media (2 OCC pages, 362 files, 25.8 MB)
      • Websites (51 OCC pages, TBA files, TBA MB) - a very long wait.
      • (gosh) E-books (V17) (1 OCC page, 272 files, 33.1 MB)

    • Sit down and discover what's new and what works.

    Interesting that v17.0 is out with a Release Date of 12 March 2020 and Magix is still selling v16.
    Doesn't exactly help those who might have bought in in the last few days as their Registration version will be v16.3 and they will "fall back" to that and not v17.0.

    So the Magix strap line is Buy Now and regress back to v16.3.0, 25 October 2019.

    xara used to have a 'period of grace', I think it was a month...

    is it really such a logistical difficulty that everything cannot all come out at once...
