I intend contacting Magix for a refund of the upgrade price to V12.
So Just to clear the waters here:

We (Xara) are pretty much now just developers, Magix handle the sales (including the licensing) marketing of Xara products. This has been in place since October(?) last year: https://help.xara.com/article/2-new-...sktop-products

There's also all the details here: http://shared.xara.com/diNpZUgi2O/ . Someone did a nifty little easy to read chart but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

You can download all the content locally so even if your update service expires, you can use any of the content (to do this simply right-click a folder in the Designs Gallery > Download All)

I don't like it myself but a year after purchasing you get access to the designs, support and updates to the product (and hosting if you've got Premium or Pro). You don't have to renew your update service and you'll still be able to download and unlock the version you brought forever.

Personally speaking - you wouldn't get a refund after a year you've received and used these services and content.

Happy to help or explain anything if it doesn't make sense

Also Gary - even if you uninstall V11, you can always re-install and unlock it at anytime. Downloads can be found here still under the section "Previous Versions": http://www.xara.com/us/designer-pro/download/

Thanks
