Where can I download the new XDP v20 as a free trial? (i.e. one-time purchase option)

[shiphen]

Hello

Can anyone tell me where I can download a free trial of the new Xara Designer Pro v20 from?

All I can find is the time-bombed licensing version (Xara Designer Pro+), however to the best of my knowledge that is a I believe is a completely different product, (yes?)

Thanks

you download it from here:

https://www.xara.com/designerpro/v20/

but there does not appear to be a free trial

you would need to ask xara via chat what sort of money back guarantee if any they offer

@shiphen, thank you for asking, it was one on my mind.
If the codebase is v23.5.0 and the Plus versions have a Trial mode then one might assume this could be arranged.

Until then, why not trial the Plus version and ignore all the features that @Matt has advised have been excluded.

I thought of saying that, but I know the OP's views on subs

plus ignoring features can be easier said then done

Understood but trialling a Sub is not buying into it.

no, but only allowing such a trial is a 'golden hook' to catch a fish

Whut? Are we seriously saying that Xara has provided no way of testing the new one-time purchase version??

OR have Xara finally seen the light and there is now a one-time purchase mechanism for the same code-base "Pro+"...?

Either way, yes any form of subscription is a deal-breaker for moi, irrespective of price.

My problem is that I have been running into some bugs exporting PDFs in v19 and I need to test the real thing that I would be buying....
