Panpiper Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 My Hero Designer dates from 2015. Have there been any improvements to Hero Designer since then that are significant enough to warrant me purchasing it again, so as to download the latest version?

Simon Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Nothing truly earth-shattering, but there have been a large number of updates in that time. If you purchased in 2015, then you can download the current version/update already -- just go to the Purchases section of your Client Area and click on the HERO Designer purchase -- the current update is linked at the bottom of that page. cycosurgeon and Panpiper 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panpiper Posted May 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Thank you. There was a time, long ago perhaps if my faulty memory is correct, that a Hero Designer licence expired after a couple of years. I am pretty sure I recall purchasing it twice way back so as to update. I guess I just assumed that remained the case. Very happy to learn otherwise. Hero Designer is SUCH a wonderfully useful program, I could not possibly recommend it more strongly for anyone creating characters in Hero.

Korren9 Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Is there a way to look back further? I'm sure I paid for the HD software a long time ago, but I doubt that I have access to the email address I used to sign up for it, way back when. Plus, now I only have access to a Mac instead of the Windows machine I was running it on, originally. Thanks, Corey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 No, since prior to 2013 (when we moved the site to new software and changed the sales model for HD), HD was sold under a 2 year support contract. You would have needed to renew your support contract in order to download updates/new versions/etc. We did continue to honor existing support contracts after the move, but those all ran out by 2015. The good news is that the cost to purchase HD was (intentionally) kept the same as the cost to renew your support contract ($25)...so you're not out anything.

Simon Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Also note: if you still have the HD installation from your windows system, it will run just fine under MacOS as well -- the joys of Java. Korren9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korren9 Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Even if my copy is 15 years old?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Yup...though I would strongly recommend updating in that case (even if you still have it to make the transfer) -- you'll find a LOT more functionality in the current version.
