I use C1Pro and am now on v12. I think that Phase One got their prices wrong
for v12 and so have been offering discounts to tempt people to upgrade. I
succumbed a couple of months ago when sent a 25% discount.
Their new versions come out about once a year and a new one is not due until
the end of 2019, by my calculations.
I’m very happy with v12, but I’ll not upgrade again until v14 or later.
Cheers
Chris
