How do I upgrade?
Upgrade to Embird 2021 from previous versions of Embird (i.e. from Embird 2019 and older) is a paid upgrade.
New Main Password
Upgrade from version 2019 and older to Embird 2021 is a paid upgrade and a new main registration password is required. Otherwise, the new software runs only in demo mode.
The registration numbers for all plug-ins from previous Embird versions are valid in Embird 2021. However, the plug-ins are not functional until you insert the new main registration password.
In other words, if you are registered user of previous version of Embird (version 2019 or older), your plug-in registration numbers for Alphabets, Font Engine, Iconizer, Digitizing Studio, Sfumato Stitch and Cross Stitch will work also in Embird 2021. You only need to pay the upgrade fee for the basic Embird.
Upgrade
Please purchase the upgrade in our Embird Online Shop. A new registration password will be delivered in an e-mail.
