@scucca. I was confused as well, but finally got my head around the fact that it’s an update, and NOT a new version. Just a few fixes. Was able to update WD and Graphic designer. By calling this a new number, you’re led to believe this is a whole new version. It’s Xara marketing only. The only time you should pay is when your yearly sub runs out. Download a trial next time before your anniversary date, or just update yearly but paying the sub.
Most programs indicate new updates by same version number. Ie- v16.xxxx. Not Xara. They give it a whole new number, with a new splash picture.
I think next time I’ll just buy a newer version, v17 on my anniversary. The improvements are too small to pay three times per year.
....and the Cloud. Xara continue to push it. It’s unpopular, and is a solution for corporate, and a platform for collaboration only.
.. check the number of posts on the Xara Cloud category compared to the rest.
Xara does offer an explanation to all of this in the pinned updates.
