Important Note:  feature updates are available only to current subscribers of Stardraw Audio, Stardraw A/V, Stardraw A/V Lite, Stardraw Lighting 2D and Stardraw Radio.  If the machine you're currently working with has its Stardraw dongle in place, follow the link to check your subscription status.



Feature Updates - A Notice

Since the introduction of our feature update program in May 2001, new functionality has been added to all subscription-based applications every single month. Many of these features, like Excel Reporting, Online Libraries, External Datasource and Synchronize Manufacturers, have been significant enough to warrant version number upgrades but Stardraw.com's policy is to deliver world-class software with ever-improving functionality as part of a fixed annual subscription.


There is no change to this policy, nor are there any plans to change the pricing of annual subscriptions to any Stardraw.com product.


In the light of overwhelmingly enthusiastic response to major, strategic upgrades we will be focussing on delivering 'big ticket' features for the remainder of 2004 and early 2005. This will see the consolidation of new feature releases which are, as always, prioritized by what you the user asks for. Look out for powerful new tools in the second half of this year.


We are always happy to receive feature suggestions from all our users. If you've ever thought "wouldn't it be great if...", please let us know. All suggestions make it onto our wish-list, and if you don't ask, we can't deliver. Please help us to help you by making Stardraw applications even better than they are today - just visit the new Stardraw Forums and post your ideas.



Stardraw Radio to Merge with Stardraw A/V

All symbols that were previously only accessible through Stardraw Radio have now been added to the Stardraw A/V libraries.  This means that Stardraw A/V is now the most comprehensive design/documentation tool ever for professional audio, audio/visual and audio broadcast systems integrators.

 

Stardraw Radio will shortly be phased out as a separate product and holders of a current subscription to Stardraw Radio can look forward to a free upgrade to Stardraw A/V (normally $1750)
