Hi shiphen,

Thanks for asking this question here as many users ask us the same and Thanks to you, handrawn & Acorn, for answering so quickly

Basically it is exactly how the two have described it:
You either upgrade to the Pro+ plan and use Xara Cloud only by the means you need it. I know you think you don't need it at all, but I am pretty sure at one point you will find a scenario where you are happy to see Designer Pro+ integrating with Cloud

Or you wait until we release it for MAGIX. And for sure there will be a point where this feature will go into the MAGIX versions, but we can't tell exactly when this will be.


As you mentioned the price point, with our actual campaign upgrading to Designer Pro+ is even cheaper than upgrading your Designer Pro X to V17:

Want to experience it?
You can download the lastest version of Designer Pro+ from here: https://xara.com/pro-plus-download/
Please remember, in order to use Designer Pro+ you need to register it with a Xara Cloud account. You have a single account for both products.

Then we strongly recommend you take advantage of our exclusive 50% discount (6-months free) for the first year of the subscrioption offer dedicated to our TalkGraphics community: use the code TALKGRAPHICS to get it, i.e. as an individual you will pay 101,70 €/ £/ $ for a whole year.

Already have updated your MAGIX Designer app to V17 (DPX, WD/P, PGD) and still want to use Designer Pro+?
Don't worry, you can still do this. Simply send me an email to evak@xara.com or contact us via https://xara.com/contact-us/ and we will transfer your remaining credit over to your new Xara Cloud+ subscription.

***********

As you can see with our TALKGRAPHICS voucher you won't pay more than around 100 €/ £/ $, and in case you have an upgraded to v17 and have an active update service, then we will provide credit onto the Xara Cloud+ renewal date. I think this is an offer, that can't be refused

Whenever you have more questions to that, don't hesitate to contact me via evak@xara.com.


I am always happy to help - stay tuned

Best,
