I already have a 3-year agreement. :)

When you purchase the program, you will receive updates of that year for free.
If you make a maintenance agreement, you will receive a free update for a small price. And you get a free question and answer support service.

When using the program, you can ask anything you want or cannot solve. They have to answer and resolve. (These are things to be done as per maintenance agreement)

我曾经试用过PACKZ一段时间,一直无法更新,但是朋友给我的安装(比起我试用版更新版本的PACKZ)却可以使用,这样我便了解PACKZ後台DataCenter会去辨识KEY Number,某些Key number是可以获取更新资料的,某些购买维护合约的,是无法获取更新资讯....难怪PACKZ严格控管新版PACKZ的下载

This is true.
It can follow the downloads with the data center.

请问一下PACKZ的维用合约三年的价格大约是多少美元？

There is no single answer to this question.
Details such as how many licenses you purchased, which modules you bought, size of the company affect the price.

But approximately, 1.500 Euro per year.

请问PACKZ 5.2.5发表了吗？ PACKZ 5.2.4於三月20日发表,那麽PACKZ 5.2.5也应该发表了吧?过了一个月了,之前纠结的那个问题,解决了吗?

5.2.5 was not released.
Many problems still persist.

I reported many bugs to them.
But I don't think they're interested.

[RealX11]

PACKZ 5.2 versions are slower than 5.1.
There are also 5.2 too many bugs.

It is said that PACKZ has VDP as standard.
However, there are fees for extra features.

VDP in PACKZ is difficult to use. (According to DeskPack VDP)
I'm someone who uses both heavily.

But, PACKZ is now a much more advanced software than ArtPro +.
The equivalent of Cloudflow is Automation Engine.
Automation engine is much better.

I am someone who uses the programs of both companies intensively.

I can say that,
Hybrit software programs are not generally user-friendly programs.
Interface needs to be developed.

In summary, PACKZ is among the programs that should be on the market. Competition is good for us users. Remember, ArtPro + would not be developed without PACKZ.

[RealX11]

'PACKZ does it first, ArtPro does it later' My opinion on this matter is this.

Esko has many product groups to develop. (It has about 30-40 kinds of products.)

hybrid software has 2 products. (PACKZ an CloudFlow)

Hybrid focuses on only 2 kinds of programs.
Esko focuses on 20 types of programs.

PACKZ doesn't care about the complaints of those who use it. However, he should take this matter seriously. In order to increase its users in this market.

biggest problem is that you only realize the shitty support of hybrid AFTER you have spent lots of money for their crappy software. but then its too late!

Dear duffyduck,
Let's not say that the software sucks.
There are too many mistakes.

But I agree with you on the subject.
Customer support; It's very, very, very shitty.

[RealX11]

I am using the full version.
Continue testing.

说的实在。 现在的PDF编辑器选择太多， 但是能真正用于稳定生产的最好还是用adobe自己的东西。安全，安全。安全第一。

You are partially right.
But Adobe's local programs are inadequate in prepress work.

While Acrobat cannot open the complex PDF file for minutes,
Packz or ArtPro + can open it in seconds.

These two programs are already using "APPE".
So (Adobe PDF Print Engine).

In summary; Safe. :)

[RealX11]

作者: duffyduck

none of these programs use APPE.

as the name implies APPE is used as "PRINT ENGINE" for rendering PDF files to output as bitmap.

but its not build for editing individual objects!

so since acrobat and even illustrator (only with some restrictions) cant edit all objects of a PDF in a straight forwa...

You are right.
I mixed it with the "XMF Workflow" I used.

[RealX11]

"PACKZ" cannot last very long if the customer support of the hybrid software does not change.
The user audience remains in the minority.

I am currently working with Esko and Hybrid software.
I use the legal licenses of both companies.
I have a maintenance agreement with both companies.

I can say this very clearly;
As Esko company, it is much more corporate, more organized. Their customer approach is very, very good.

Hiybrit software customer support is pretty bad.
They need to improve themselves on this issue.
