So thanks and sorry for the hassle re: update. Definitely not our intention, i.e. there’s no secret code in the update that kills the standard install to force users to the App Store. But… here’s… an… i… d… e… a. ;)

Just joking.

If you migrate to the App Store version, all you get is.. well, the App Store version: Simple install process, 2.x-updates through the App Store, standard App Store license (instead of our old 3-seat or 2-seat/edu license), no more registration code, you can rant on our App Store page or give 5-stars, etc.

3.0 will most likely be a completely new, stand-alone version, no upgrade-path at all. Think iWork/iLife. So if you want to get 3.0, once it’s here, which is, quite frankly, not in the very near future, you’ll have to pay whether you are on the old or the App Store version…

I already switched to the App Store version at the original price (no problem, it was already a great price — take the price difference to your local and grab a few beers tonight ;-)).

Anyway — have great sales this weekend!

We just want to consolidate versions a bit, mainly to get old 1.6 users and edu/core users to the standard license, which now just happens to be on the App Store.

However, some 2.0ers have already written in to let us know they’ve switched, so it seems to work out just the way we intended. Come monday, pretty much everybody will have the variant they’re most happy with, and that’s all we wanted to achieve with the AppDate.

As for updates: 2.1 is just around the corner and should be ready sometime in March via auto-update. Probably late March. ;)

If I migrate to the App-Store-Version right now, I’ll get the 3.0 for free, because Apple doesn’t allow you to charge for an update (hehe :-) )
If I stick to the old version, I’ll get all v.2.* for free and have to buy 3.0 for the regular price?

In that case – sounds like a fair offer!

I don’t think I will take it up, though. There’s a kind of sentimental attachement to running the regular/old version that I bought for 45€.

If you don’t stop updating the regular version or somesuch, I’ll just wait for 3.0 to switch to the AppStore version.
