If I don't mistake this the pop-up is about the update-checker program that is started along with the application. It wants to install an update to it and is not about extending the time you will get free application updates and have access to the online catalog. At least that is what I got a few days ago. I installed the update and the pop-up is gone for now.
I agree that the name is very misleading.
@ everyone my update service expired and try as I might i cannot find out how to renew that service only.

Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
One way is to log into your account at magix.com and make sure you get your country right (the little world icon at top right) so the amount is in the correct currency otherwise you may pay an inflated amount and have an extra charge for currency conversion. It's not easy, but worth it if you can save a few dollars
@jaydear. This pinned thread may help and explain. I got this message just a month after buy Xara. Every time they provide fixes or updates they push it as a major upgrade, no matter how small the fixes.

Yes, I know what you mean. An update/bugfix to the particular Xara product you open displays a grey window with options to download and update now or when closing the program, but the popup I'm referring to was different. It specifically said 'update service' which made me think they were harping on about upgrading the 12 month subscription to my Xara product. In fact though, as you say, it was an update to the update service. It'd be nice to know what they needed to update in there.
@jaydear. It’s confusing for sure. I also get that pop up every week or so. I click on update and get all the boxes and nothing is downloaded. This is another bug that’s outlined in a thread in WD section. I don’t know why this happens. I believe that ultimately all roads lead to a paid upgrade which you can refuse.
If you wish just download a trial version of the program and use your original password given to you by Xara for version 17. I did that successfully. My year ends in November. But to receive the incrimental updates it’s best to do it this way.
When your sub is expiring you’ll get emails,bells and whistles. If the date is close enough to the anniversary date of the program then you can renew your sub.
