SerW Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Hello support pals! Here is my question: I want to buy all your macos-products, but I need a free upgrade to v2! Is it possible to by macOS versions v1.8 now, and get free upgrades <OR> should I wait patiently till v2 are released? : ) TiA!

As far as we know, the upgrade to V2 will not be free. And we have no idea how much the V2 applications will cost. 1 minute ago, SerW said: <OR> should I wait patiently till v2 are released? : ) We also have no idea when V2 will be released. 1.9 will be released sometime, probably in the next few months, but whether it is this month or 3 months from now we don't know, and Serif will not say. We do not know what will come after 1.9. Assuming that 1.9.0 is released, we might see, over the course of the next year (or more) 1.9.1, 1.9.2, etc. We don't know what will come after 1.9.x. After 1.9.x we might see 2.0, and it could in theory happen this year (probably late in the year), or it could happen later. Or, after 1.9.x we might see 1.10, 1.11, etc. So your patient waiting could conceivably require several years of patience. Someone at Serif presumably has a plan for when 2.0 will come, but no one who knows the details of the plan will be telling us anything.

Cheers! : )) Based on Serif's release history and need to add some parity features I suspect it will be Q3/Q4 2021. I doubt it will be much later than that unless 1.9.x releases have some major updates. For me publisher was purchased direct from Serif and AD, and AP were from the MAS. When 2.1 ish is available I plan to purchase direct and skip the MAS... Ps. I never do a x.0 upgrade, with Apple I don't upgrade until x.3 SerW 1 Quote iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017) Mac OS 13 | 4.2 GHz Quad Core Intel-Core i7 | 64GB Ram | Radeon Pro 580 8 GB Adobe Photography (Lightroom and Photoshop) | Affinity Designer 2 | Affinity Photo 2 | Affinity Publisher 2 | Capture One Pro (for now) | Topaz Labs Photography Suite | Fast Raw Viewer | NeoFinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
