AndyRage's mantra for graphics engine code:
"Sure - how hard can it be?"
"security" is just another way of saying "hand over your personal information because it's only for your own good"
Facebook & google earn their money because they can sell access to it's users based upon their profiles. Microsoft & paypal and all these other behemoths are only trying to get a piece of Facebook & google's action. If George Orwell used time travel to rewrite the news of today as a serialized novel published back in the 1970's - he'd be derided for being too far-fetched and cynical.
Perhaps the upgrade of Artrage to 'version 7' aka 'Vitae' is the simultaneous editing of an image with a friend. Seems kind of like a gimmick - I've never done that before with real media. Actually, I've had an instructor alter a charcoal of mine, without asking. I was soooo pissed. Even with a musical setting, you play with others live. But doing so over the interweb is just wrong, with the time lag.
But I'm very encouraged by your Linux success. Please let us know if you ever get Artrage 7 to work on Linux.
What is your opinion of Clip Studio Paint?
Have you had success with Clip Studio Paint in Linux?
I'm not sure that a download-version from the Microsoft Store would be a trustable solution. I purchased f.e. a movie on the store, that I also downloaded.
"So ArtRage Vitae really is the new version of ArtRage? It is a little confusing as the ArtRage-website still shows up with ArtRage 6 as the latest release and ArtRage Vitae for iOS and Android. And I got an e-mail that offers an upgrade discount for 39,50 $."
I had AR 2.5, 4, 5 and 6.... I never got an email! I see all this just now.
Please @Hannah, @Mark or whoever here is knowledgeable, I have many questions especially after reading through this thread..
1) Is there a way to purchase AR7 for a lower price for those who had AR previously? I don't see any. I did not get an email!
2) Is it true that there is no way to download AR7? That you can only install it???? I have 2 to 3 laptops/tablets on which I use AR5&6 right now.... -===> please make it downloadable!!!
Hello a_dt
ARV was announced here on the forums at the beginning of August but it is very strange that you didn’t receive any email notification
In total I had three emails about the launch of ARV over August and September.
Although sadly the horse has bolted now, as it were, I wonder is the email address linked to your ArtRage Store account correct and up to date? Or could the emails have been diverted to a SPAM folder?
But to your two main questions;
1: I don’t think that currently there is
But I’m just a user of AR like yourself, you could try contacting Ambient Design for clarification about your situation via their support page; https://www.artrage.com/get-support/
Or by email: [email protected]
2: Correct, there are no standalone installers for ARV (or AR7 if you will) that can be purchased and downloaded.
ARV is only available through the Mac App Store or the Microsoft Store.
Apps bought through either store are tied to the store account they were bought with not the computer used.
To put ARV on your other devices you will need to log into your store account with the devise you wish to install the app on. Then go to your list of purchased apps and install from there.
The total number of devices you can install on is defined in the store’s Terms & Conditions.

Email had not been changed since I purchased the first AR, and it is the one I log in into my account still where I see the page with the versions I purchased.... and it is a gmail address, not in the spam, not even in the "all mail" folder, ... nothing, NOT ONE of them arrived!!
I have another email for the forum here, but those are directed to the gmail account, both accounts still working, (I got your response via email), nothing from AR in the spam.... (I watch the spam folders all the time)....
will write to support....
LAST QUESTION: if I buy AR7, will I be able to use 6 still as was the case with all other versions (in the past it installed the new version as new software and DID NOT overwrite the older versions, which I like!), or will it overwrite AR6?
Thanks for your answer!

In short, yes! You will still be able to use AR6.

And try to ease the way
