Update: server upgrade finished.
Update: Hello Prezi People,
Server upgrade has begun on schedule. New stuff now loading through the pipes. Check back in 2 hours for more. We’ll update you on the process.
Dear Pezi Authors,
We’ll have to unplug Prezi.com this Sunday morning from 10-12 AM CET (08:00-10:00 UTC), due to upgrades. The goal of the process is to prepare our system for some major new stuff.
During the process, our online services will be unavailable. This means:
1. You won’t be able to reach Prezi.com, the online editor,
2. You can’t login or reach your online Prezis from PreziDesktop (offline editor available for Pro users).
3. You can still edit, and export presentations with PreziDesktop in offline mode (since the software is not necessarily connected to the internet).
4. Of course you can even show your Prezis during downtime, if you have previously downloaded them to your computer.
We will try to make this as painless as possible. Our most effective weapon to achieve this goal is transparency and support.
For this reason, we welcome your comments on @prezisupport on Twitter while our data center is offline. Once the upgrade has finished, we will notify you immediately on the blog and on Twitter as well.

Does registration work now? Paypal button gives me an error.
Yup, I just decided to register the very day you’re updating the system :-p people are just maddening!
Let us know when everything is smoothly working again, I’m really looking forward to start playing with these toys!
Thanks, Enrico
Hi, PayPal has a known issue with Italian and Spanish cards. Please try via PayPal account not with your card directly.
Thanks for your reply. I’m doing just that: I’m on EduPro registration & payment page, I click “Pay with a paypal account”, I check the terms-of-service-checkbox, I click “check out with paypal” and I get «An error occurred during processing your request. YOU HAVE NOT BEEN CHARGED». No credit card data entered at this point. Not even transferred to paypal site.
I could try to pay with Visa if you think it will work better.
Thanks again, Enrico
Yet there are no indications that my credit card details will go through a secure connection. This is a bit critical: I don’t want them to pass in cleartext to your server.
