Re: Designer Pro Pricing Confusing
Hi,
Occasionally, Magix may offer users of Web Designer Premium the possibility of switching to Xara Designer Pro X (DPX) at a special price, but this would probably be the current sale price. So, you may want to accept the current offer, price for New, not Upgrade. You can always ask Magix if there is a special price for moving from WDP to DPX.
Upgrading is only to extend the Update Service period by 1 year, and is only good for the product that is displayed. Click on, Update, then click on the "i" button to the right of the price to see the definition of Upgrade, "Here you can upgrade to the latest version here for a special price or extend your Update Service..." This gives you updates with the restrictions indicated in the definition of Update Service (read this) and access to the on-line catalogue for 1 year.
With DPX, you get the equivalent of M hosting, which, as stated on the Magix site, "Xara Designer Pro X offers everything you need for a successful Internet presence, including 2 GB web storage and your own domain** - free for one full year!" If you already have the M hosting, then you can use the coupon or activation code to ask Magix to apply it to your existing account. Since it comes with DPX, you may as well use it, but not for anything mission-critical.
L Hosting gives you 5 domain names and web space, so you would only purchase this (separately) if that is what you want or need. Note that Xara hosting has some limitations and may not be the best host for what you want.
