Frequently Asked Questions
The following FAQ applies only to users in Europe.
Desktop customer service General
- What's the difference between an update and an upgrade?
Updates are usually small, incremental maintenance releases to fix particular software
defects. Upgrades include substantial feature enhancements.
- Even though QuarkXPress 7 has been released, can I still purchase or upgrade to
version 6.5?
Yes. For a limited time after the release of version 7, you can still purchase or upgrade
to version 6.5 by calling Quark
Customer Service.
Desktop customer service educational and non-profit organisations
- Do you offer special pricing to non-profit organisations?
Quark does not currently offer special pricing to non-profit organisations in Europe,
the Middle East, or Africa.
- Do you offer special pricing to educational institutions? What about to students?
Yes. See educational users for more
information. Special pricing is not offered on upgrades, replacement disks, or service plan purchases.
- Which version of QuarkXPress is available for educational and non-profit users?
Educational and non-profit users can purchase QuarkXPress. See Customer
Programs for more information.
- What's a Lab-Pak?
Purchased at a special price, Lab-Paks are site licences used specifically in educational
settings. See Educational pricing
for more information.
- Are educational QuarkXPress Lab-Paks only available in QuarkXPress Passport?
No. You can order a Lab-Pak in either QuarkXPress or QuarkXPress Passport. See
educational pricing for more information.
- What's a Multi-Pak?
Also called a "site license", this is one copy of the application that can be installed and
operated on a specified number of computers. Quark also offers consolidation of multiple
(five or more) licences or copies into a single site licence.
- If I upgrade my Lab-Pak or Multi-Pak, do I have to return my hardware key(s)?
No. You can keep the hardware key(s) associated with older versions of the software.
Desktop customer service Licensing
- What happened to the Quark mobile licensing program?
Due to customer feedback, we have ended the Quark mobile licensing program. Instead, we now
have a dual licensing program.
- What is Quark Licence Administrator?
Quark Licence Administrator (QLA) is licence management software that simplifies the administration
of multi-seat installations of Quark products. Designed with network administrators in mind, QLA makes
it easy to control user access, increase the number of licenced seats, and instantly acquire additional
licences to meet the needs of expanding workflows. See Quark Licence
Administrator for more information.
- Can I install the same copy of QuarkXPress on my computer at work and my computer
at home?
A single-user licence of QuarkXPress allows you to install and use the software on one computer at
a time. If you install a single-user copy of QuarkXPress on more than one computer, an error message
will display, and all but one copy of the software will be disabled.
If you require a QuarkXPress licence for more than one computer, you must purchase a copy for each
computer on which you want to run QuarkXPress. Or, you can install your single-user licence of
QuarkXPress 6 on a secondary computer that you own through
Quark dual licensing.
Quark dual licensing is available only to the primary, registered user of a QuarkXPress single-user
software licence. Quark dual licensing permits non-concurrent use of QuarkXPress on two computers,
which must be the same platform.
Alternatively, you can purchase a QuarkXPress Multi-Pak (minimum of 5 licences of QuarkXPress
configured to run with one serial number). If your QuarkXPress software is part of a multi-seat
installation, Quark Licence Administrator (QLA) will manage your licences.

- My company already owns five copies of QuarkXPress, but now we need to buy another
five copies. Will you give us a price break on the software?

- My company already owns five copies of QuarkXPress, but now we need to buy another five
copies. Will you give us a price break on technical support plans?
Site licence customers receive a deep discount on the price of technical support, as they only pay
for one full support plan plus a "seat charge" on each additional licence. (Discounts are subject
to change.) Contact customer service
or technical support for pricing information
specific to your needs.
- How do I get a replacement QuarkXPress CD?
While a customer service representative can order replacement media, it is best to call technical
support first. It is often the case that another underlying issue is the cause of the problem, and
waiting to receive replacement media only increases the time you are unproductive.
- I lost my QuarkXPress program CD-ROM and I need to reinstall the software. How can I
get another CD-ROM?
Call Quark Customer Service. There
will be a £10 (€ 15, CHF 20)* replacement fee.
*Prices subject to change without notice.
- I lost my copy of QuarkXPress. Will you replace it?
Yes, subject to a £10 (€15, CHF 20)* replacement fee for media only. If you need
manuals, too, they are available for £35 (€55, CHF 85)* plus shipping costs. In addition, you
will probably want to submit a claim to your insurance company.
*Prices subject to change without notice.
- My copy of QuarkXPress was stolen. Do I have to pay to get another one?
If the licence was registered to you, we can send you replacement media for £10
(€15, CHF 20)*. The fee for manuals is £35 (€55, CHF 85)* plus shipping.
In addition, you will probably want to submit a claim to your insurance company.
*Prices subject to change without notice.
- How much is a replacement hardware key?
Hardware key replacement will be offered only while supplies last. Quark customer service cannot
send a replacement until technical support has diagnosed the key as defective. Replacement of
defective hardware keys is £25 (€40, CHF 60)*. The original hardware key must be
returned to Quark. Replacement of lost or stolen hardware keys is £208 (€300 or
CHF 464)*. See Hardware
Key Information for more information.
