Xara vs Magix

[charliescoffee]

I'm confused about Xara vs Magix. I've always maintained the most current version of the software, back when there was a yearly update. Then Magix came into the picture and the annual update ended and who knows what else has happened. I use Xara almost every day and for a variety of tasks and I continue to be happy with the present software (Xara Designer Pro X 19.0.1.65946 DL x64 Feb 7 2023), so far it's done everything I've wanted it to do. Can someone explain to me if Xara is now a part of Magix, are they two separate operations, who's now responsible for the software? It seems to me that Magix doesn't care particularly about Xara as a graphic design tool, it's more interested and pays more attention to it's other products.

Magix no longer has any involvement in xara software - end of story

Your version 19 cannot no longer be updated - end of story

there will be no update service for your version, once your current service expires - end of story

if you want to get the latest version you need to rebuy pro+ from xara which is subscription only
