Q & A

  1. Q: If I have purchased MN3 with the DMG version, could I freely upgrade MN3 to MN4?
    A: Yes, in September 2024, you can freely upgrade MN3 to MN4 Standard. Please refer to this topic: [MacOS] Free Upgrade from MN3 to MN4 DMG Version. However, I must remind that the free upgrade plan is time-limited. If you would like to upgrade to MN4 Standard, please upgrade as soon as possible. You may need to pay additional fees to upgrade to MN4 Standard after the expiration date of the free upgrade plan.

  2. Q: If I own MN4 Standard, should I pay additional fees to upgrade to MN4 Premium?
    A: In short, for most users, it is unnecessary to upgrade from Standard to Premium. In September 2024, 90% of the features of Standard and Premium versions are the same. If you are interested in the difference between various payment plans, please refer to this official introduction to MN4 payment plans (in Chinese): MaginNote 4 Payment Plans.

  3. Q: If I have purchased only MN4 Pro on iPadOS and do not own MN4 Standard/Premium on MacOS, and now I would like to use MN4 across multiple platforms, should I pay additional fees to upgrade MN4 Pro to MAX?
    A: Yes, if you need to sync the notes/files between MacOS and iPadOS but did not own MN4 Standard/Premium, you should pay additional fees to upgrade MN4 Pro to MAX. MN4 MAX natively supports cooperation across multiple Apple platforms (iOS, iPadOS, and MacOS).

  4. Q: If I own MN4 Standard/Premium on MacOS and MN4 Pro on iPadOS, should I pay additional fees to upgrade MN4 Pro to MAX?
    A: No, if you own MN4 Standard/Premium on MacOS and MN4 Pro on iPadOS, it is unnecessary to purchase MN4 MAX. The notes/files can be synced between MN4 Standard/Premium and MN4 Pro.
