If it works like the last one:

• If you start the trial today, the 50% off sale would still be on (or just about to end) when your trial ends.
• However, if you were to wait a month and then start the trial, the sale would end 1 month before your trial ended. It's not a "try it for 90 days and then get 50% off." The two offers are not connected that way.

They did extend both offers last time, and made some adjustments to accomodate users who started the trial late. But I wouldn't count on that. I would assume that the sale ends 90 days from now, unless Serif specifically says they've extended it.

Thanks Walt, that’s great to hear and makes sense. Ok I now have my trial codes, shouldn’t need the full 90 days to try out all components, but good to know it’s there.

Hi, quick question regard to the 50% and the 90 day trial.

If I take out the 90 day trial on all three Mac apps today, will it still be 50% if I decide purchase during or at the end of my trial 90 days from now?

Still currently with Adobe but keen to look at alternatives for best price.

Thanks

Hello @G.. and wecome to the forums.

You can install any one of the Affnity apps on computers that you control or own with the same operating system all with the same licence.

None of the Affinity apps offer a raster-to-vector facility. This has been requested many times but Serif has shown little enthusiasm for adding this. There are, however, many independant programs that will do this for you, many for free.

Cheers John, oh really that’s a shame, but good to know.

I have gotten used to the Streamline functionality now fully integrated with Illustrator. 

I might have a gander at what independent apps are available out there. Off the top of your head do you recommend any free or paid ones that integrate will with Affinity suite?

Cheers for the welcome

You can install on all the machines that you use exclusively (i.e. you are the only user), and that are the same operating system (mac or Windows). If you have one Windows machine and one mac then you would need a separate licence for each one.

Great thanks Paul

Any plans to?

Hi, after 25 years, I’m looking to potentially move away from Adobe creative software. After researching alternative products to Illustrator and Photoshop I came across the Affinity suite. 

Have read through various information on the applications, however I either can’t find or have missed some information which would be useful in choosing the best solution moving forward. 

I have both a work station at the office and at home, can you install the same software instance on both machines, similar to Adobe CC. I.e download on both machines and insert the same activation code linked to your account. Or would you need to buy two copies / codes.

In regards to the Illustrator alternative, I often use the raster to vector conversion tools. Now built in to Illustrator via ‘image trace’ previously acquired via the Abobe Streamline applications. Does this feature also exist somewhere within the Affinity suite. 

Many thanks
