thanks again Rob, always good to know these things

It could have been a little more tablet friendly.

I do not have a keyboard with it and so Shift, Alt and Control are impossible to use.

Unfortunately those keys are used extensively in Designer.

Perhaps some Control Bar toggles I can place anywhere would be greatly appreciated.

I was able to map a key to the button on my stylus... But not everyone is this fortunate and it's far from ideal.

Thanks, Richard

Hi Rob. Thanks for the info.
Is the process to deactivaite the programs self evident when I log into my account? Caution: You're speaking to a moron.

Rob may have gone home

If you log on to your account [service center] on the xara site, and go to my products there is a link next to your registration entry for the version 11 product 'show activated devices' - click on this and you get to make the changes - looks straight forward, but I haven't had to do it for real so far...

if you're about to try it, let me know if it works

**Rob-Xar** · 24 July 2015, 07:36 AM

Sorry yes went home! Food, beer, bath and bed beacons!

Yea as handrawn says it's pretty self explaining on the service center, and in case anything does go wrong we can fix it at support so don't worry about activation.

I should note that while you can only deactivate 30 days after activating, in the Help menu > Deactivate product you can do at anytime. And if all else fails your PC dies and support is kidnapped, your activation will unlock after 30 days anyway (the installation checks every 30 days as to whether it's still valid. If it can't do this, the license gets unlocked and you can reuse it).

Thanks
Rob

Well yes... I could plug in a USB keyboard as well to solve my dilemma. But I shouldn't have to.

Thanks Hans

I'm trying to share a file with a partner and he is not able to access to it, when he tries to log onto cloud.xara.com using his gmail account the page says he has to buy xara to be able to see the file.
I'm assuming he doesn't need to buy it cause xara says this service can be used to share files with my customers.
I think I'm doing something wrong.
I really appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.
