  1. New customers always get the very latest version when purchasing designPH.
    designPH PRO is available in English, German, Spanish, Dutch, Polish, (Chinese) and as a special IP-version.
    It is fully compatible with SketchUp 8 to 2017 (Pro or Make) and PHPP8 and PHPP 9. See also pre-sale questions for more details.
    More info on how to get the bundle of designPH PRO and PHPP 9 with its excellent price-performance ratio can be found here.
    .
  2. Existing designPH v1.1.x customers can update immediately for free at www.designph.org/patches_updates to the latest available designPH version.
    As ever you will have to login first with your designPH.org credentials to be able to reach the internal links in the designPH members area.
    .
  3. Existing designPH v1.0.x customers will have to update first to PHPP9 and designPH v1.1 to be able to update to designPH v1.6. If you already have a designPH v1.1-v1.6 account but never used your download, you will need to contact us directly to request a new one-time download link.
    Please contact your local reseller to upgrade or find your best choice directly here.

    An update from designPH v1.0.x to the latest designPH version is highly advisable:

    1. designPH v1.0.x is depreciated and not maintained anymore - see also here
    2. designPH v1.0.x is not compatible with PHPP 9 ! - see also here
    3. latest designPH v1.1-v1.6 is compatible with both PHPP 8 and PHPP 9 ! - see also here
    4. latest designPH v1.1-v1.6 has many more features than designPH v1.0.x - see also here
      .
  4. In certain situations, when you have already updated PHPP8 to PHPP9, your local reseller may have missed to also offer you the update to designPH v1.1.
    This could lead to a situation, where as you do already purchased and use PHPP9, but you are only able see "designPH v1.0 patch" at www.designph.org/patches_updates.
    Please contact your local reseller for an update to designPH v1.1-v1.6 now. There might be a fee by your reseller to do so. Or find your best choice directly here.
    .
  5. Should I wait for designPH 2.0?
    This is expected to be released in late 2018 and will bring many new features. This will be a paid upgrade. However, users of previous versions always qualify for an upgrade discount, so you should not lose out by first purchasing or updating to designPH v1.6. designPH 2.0 should be worth the wait, but don't miss out on having designPH v1.6 while you are waiting! :)
