Macrium Reflect 8 Update Discussion

Bree said:

I subscribe to the newsletter from Macrium for the latest v8 news. Nothing yet on a release date, except that it's getting "ever closer".

There is however a strong hint in today's email that it won't be before April 11th, as that's when the Easter discount for v7 is due to expire.


Other info for those who are eagerly anticipating the Dark Theme. Well there are now three to choose from in v8 Beta, the original with the orange highlights, and new ones with blue or grey as the highlight colour.

Guess I'd best get on the stick and grab a 4-pack for meself. That would give me the one I already have and two more for my three computers and two for my daughter & son-in-law.

News on v8 Free vs. 'paid-for'. The new dark themes are to be available only in the paid for versions. From the v8 Beta knowledge base:

Note: From release v8.0.5800, Macrium Reflect Free Edition only supports 'Light Mode' and doesn't provide the 'Change UI Theme' option. There will be no 'Theme change' options in Macrium Reflect v8.x Free Edition once released.

Thanks, Bree. Another reason to get the updates!

I've searched this thread, and can't find a link to the 20% discount.

Is the discounted price $139 for a 4-pack?

I am confused, 8 isnt released yet so what does this discount do in respect to upgrading?

Buy v7 now and it includes a free upgrade to v8 on release. And from the wording of the offer, this will be the last discount before v8 is released.
