Condor, now you can relax you can think through the Xara offer.
These are the things you need to do immediately:
- Assuming you are happy with XDPXv17, install it onto a second machine.
- Do not uninstall any v16 as it is a different licence.
- If you do not have v16 currently active on two machines, add it too.
- You are in a good place as you can have v16 + v17 on one machine or all spread out over four.
- If you have a text editor that can search across files then use it for "string=" for all files under C:\ProgramData\Xara\; this will list all you machine installs and the Licence Number.
- Launch each Xara Desktop application (XDA) and go to the Local Designs Gallery (Shift+F10) and right-click on the Blue folder titles available and pick Download all. This grabs the On-line Content Catalogue content and stores it locally.
- You can share these downloads across other XDA Caches or use a master and reference it from all.
When it it time for renewing consider Xara Designer Pro+ for a year or even a month to see if there are features you need.
If not you can always revert to your v17 plus content, happy that you have secured a safe path.
