Upgrading to Blocs 5

If you have a valid license for Blocs V4, you will be happy to learn you can upgrade to Blocs V5 at a special discounted price, saving you 30% off the list price of the latest version of Blocs. The special discounted price may be adjusted when we run promotions such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Important

Please note, the price of Blocs 5 and upgrades to Blocs 5 may fluctuate if any taxes are applicable. For example, if you are purchasing from within the EU, VAT will also be added to the cost of upgrading. It’s also important to remember prices are localised to your currency, this means exchange rates may slightly affect prices.

Make sure you are running the latest version of Blocs V4 (4.5.4) on your Mac, if you don’t have this version, you can read about updating Blocs here or download the latest version of Blocs V4 directly from the Blocs V4 release archives.
