Scott Mahan Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Is it still possible to get data updates for the old database format? When I renewed my subscription what I got was 2020 but I still have 2017 installed. It says updates are available but my subscription is expired. I don't really want to update all my less active databases' format but something does happen there now and then so data would be good. Database format change is a pain.

Mark J. Castaneda Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Hi Scott, We will be discontinuing content update support some time this year for CB2017. Any renewal you purchase now will be applied to the new CB2020 version. CB2020 will do a format conversion since it uses a new db format but its a 1-time conversion for a database.

Scott Mahan Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 I will take that as, "no". Annoying but not insufferable. The denial of Publisher as a sorting/data attribute in 2020 for reporting/export has rendered ComicBase totally useless as a reporting tool. Primary sort order in ANY report is Publisher. So now I have to export all the issues in inventory, do my own Publisher extrapolation, and make my own reports. Not impossible, in fact already done, but still a pain. Why must it be so hard?
