Upgrade

Upgrade from version 2025 and older to Embird 2026 is a paid upgrade and a new main registration password is required. Otherwise, the new software runs only in demo mode.

The price of upgrade depends on how old is your current Embird.

The registration numbers for all plug-ins from previous Embird versions are valid in Embird 2026. However, the plug-ins are not functional until you insert the new main registration password.

In other words, if you are registered user of previous version of Embird (version 2025 or older), your plug-in registration numbers for Alphabets, Font Engine, Iconizer, Digitizing Studio, Sfumato Stitch and Cross Stitch will work also in Embird 2026. You only need to pay the upgrade fee for the basic Embird.
