    There used to be a cheap upgrade for the 2024 release option. Might want to look for that. I grabbed the free 2018 for Windows, upgraded to 2021, and then 2024.

    I did the same, used the earlier mentioned code(s), but at least the o21x24 (or something like that) did not work now ... So, back then I got a couple of licences for non-profits I help.

    I run a Black Friday SoftMaker Home NX licence myself (got it before the 2024 version came out, and PlanMaker NX was way ahead of 2021, well I mainly got it because it had a working/nice dark mode, which even Excel doesn't) ... I might jump to 2024/2026 instead of NX when the next renewal is due ...

    Fair enough. I feel like these days subscriptions just keep stacking up, so I am happy whenever I don't need one.

    Everything is sold as a service now. I'm fighting it to the best of my ability so I'm sitting on 2024 and I'll happily die on that hill.

  • I think 2026 is also available, just waiting for a nice discount. I also hate the subscription models ...

    Well, ya, they are called that for a reason. If they were free or buy once and use forever, they wont be a "Soft-maker" :lol:

    I speak fluent sarcasm and broken logic. | I would agree with you, but thæn we’d both be wrong.

  • Is it a full license, or a 12 month subscription? Today you never know.

    SoftMaker wants you to get the subscription version, which they label NX, but they provide classic version/licencing as well, which is labeled with the release year.
