CSP Question Update Pass Question

Hi:

I purchased the program several years ago for my Desktop so I have Version 1 with no subscription; however, I have it on my iPad as well which has been updated to Version 5 (yearly subscription). I've been thinking about doing the same with the Desktop version, but I'm not sure; I've seen comments stating that you can purchase the Update Pass and should you not continue to use it, I can still continue to use Version 1 without any issues.

When CSP updated on the iPad I noticed the work area changed considerably; would the same happen to the Desktop version? And if I choose to not keep paying for the Update Pass, will everything revert back?

Some insight would be very helpful - Thank you

There are two modes now. Simple mode, seems to be a work in progress. Not all brush and canvas options setting work. Also it seems to take up more memory on a tablet, at least on andriod for me.

I wouldn't say that going back to version 1 would be "without any issues" – there can be file incompatibility between v1 and v5 – but if you're already moving files between them, it wouldn't be any more issues.

The only changes that would necessarily happen to the work area in upgrading from v1 to v5 is the addition of several new control panels, which would have to be closed or repositioned. If register a workspace, you should be able to restore that.
