Is there any update on this?

I would like to BUY (not rent) a copy of the desktop application 4K compatible version of "Xara Designer" (i.e. "Xara Designer Pro+")

Is there any way to do so yet?

I have no user for any Cloud stuff.

Just sit tight like me until Magix announces it. Subscribe to their newsletter.

Regardless of any concerns about a subscription model, this Thread was about getting the cheapest access to a HiDPI version.

Well the cheapest is now Xara Pro+ (which is coupled with Xara Cloud+) as Xara is offering 60% discount with coupon JULY2020 until the end of July.
My calculations in https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...527#post623527 would put Xara Pro+ at £81.60 for the first year.
You would not renew after the first year but switch back to the Magix Update Service at an update cost of £78 as by that time the Magix version would have gone HiDPI (probably).

Xara has also offers to adopt your remaining licence period but you would have to check and negotiate individually.

Yes, you get the Cloud+ stuff but look at as a free one-year trial. You might see some benefit from it.

99.9% within a year, otherwise Xara would need to fork their code, assuming the existence of both MagiXara's agreement and the companies.
99.9%, as even bleach is not guaranteed to kill everything.

How/where did you get this coupon code?
I've never registered to try out Cloud+, I'm thinking I might be missing out on information by not being on an email list.

By already having a subscription. Stupid isn't it.

The person who has already paid gets the offer.

We verified that you got the offer to one of your many emails, not to your subscription paying account.
