The Xara Desktop Applications with and without the Update Service

[handrawn]

there are two channels now

the one that updates through magix, whiere renewal is optional, but you lose access to OCC and some other stuff if you don't

the one that you can now get directly from xara, where renewal is not optional and if you don't renew you loose access to the entire program [this option is called 'pro+' and integrates with xara cloud]

if, as I suspect, you are on the first channel and happy to stay there, you don't really need to worry about any of this

if you post up your version number someone can verify you are up to date

the situation is not helped for those on the first channel by magix update notification system glitches
