Hi,
I am using a bona fide, but unregistered, version of CD 9 (!!!!) which I bought many years ago from someone I knew (just gave Customer Service the user code, but I think they wanted that as a part of the sales pitch - they were presuming that I would buy on the phone). I have the box, user manuals, and the CDs. VidMate
A little confused about the best options for purchase, so would appreciate suggestions, advice and help re.:
Should I buy the CAN $249 'Upgrade' version - unfortunately, getting the boxed version is $50 extra (and which, I think, is only a Back Up CD, according to what Customer Service told me on the 'phone)? word counter
Or, should I go with the full, stand alone $549?
I suspect that the "You are eligible for the $249 upgrade" is actually marketing, designed to look good in comparison to the $549 price, regardless of whether or not I had previous version of CD - they really were doing a hard sell on the phone, and it sounded a little sketchy. Am I wrong about this?
It would seem to me to be a waste of money for me to go with the annual (365 day) option, because I am not a professional designer and cannot deduct the cost of the package from my taxes, and also because two years of subscribing will equal the cost of the $549 option.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
I agree with you Wohen. Still after all these years, X4 is the best. It's damn snappy, simple and gets the job done. It's simply fun to design something with so fast and snappy, that's the way i like it.Sure, it's lacking on better color management, maybe better stability of the newer versions, better transparency effects. but those are not crucial in my case.Soon i'll start rocking the 2018, but i'll always keep the X4 as a backup and on my home computer for sure. I love it, love it, love it!
2018 color management will be a change
