The Xara Desktop Applications with and without the Update Service

[Artyboots]

Yeah was better before the 365 in my opinion, seems like we have lost much of our user base since, could this be one of the reasons TG is suffering and no longer the fun and vital place it once was?

EDIT: We do not OWN the program but lease it.

Thanks.

So can I get the August update or not? It’s not coming in if I try manually from the Check for Updates.

if you are still have an active update service and are still on version 16, download the latest version 17 and install it using the activation key you were given when you purchased version 16

magix update service does not cross version numbers afaik

I already have the latest version afaik.

Getting so tired of this. It looks like xara’s desktop base is now being asked to prop up the online program. I can’t work out why else it’s being done this way.

It shouldn’t be this convoluted. Anything that needs a flow chart to work out isn’t clear enough.

there are two channels now

the one that updates through magix, whiere renewal is optional, but you lose access to OCC and some other stuff if you don't

the one that you can now get directly from xara, where renewal is not optional and if you don't renew you loose access to the entire program [this option is called 'pro+' and integrates with xara cloud]

if, as I suspect, you are on the first channel and happy to stay there, you don't really need to worry about any of this

if you post up your version number someone can verify you are up to date

the situation is not helped for those on the first channel by magix update notification system glitches

Thank you very much.

Incidentally, anyone having problems with the online content? Suddenly gone very slow to load, and reports security errors. Often won’t load...

I have to admit, it's very slow here as well. I am on a verified 50Mbps connection and the Xara online content is extremely slow.
