My understanding was that upon registering my App Store copy of Photo, I'd get any updates direct from Serif. It appears, this is what occurred after registration when my copy was updated to 1.9.1. The email from the Affinity Team read in part (my emphasis in red) - A week or so later, Apple's App Store attempted to update to v1.9.1 at which point I assumed it was just hanging because I already had v1.9.1. So, the whole exercise confused me.

No it isn't, to me. Yes, it is. I just did it. Fortunately @h_d, alerted me to the fact of the 'small fee'. I would have preferred to pay nothing for a product key. As far as I am concerned, what channel I used to download a product doesn't change the fact that I'm Serif's customer. I also have Publisher (purchased directly from them). To me, having all my products under one account is better than having it split between two entities. And I think, in all fairness, as a customer from almost the very beginning, I could have been accorded a complimentary product key.

I never said I wanted to switch. I want to delete my App Store copy of Photo for one I download direct from Affinity with product key. I'd be even prepared to pay a small fee for it.

Open your Mac's Activity Monitor and look for 'appstoreagent' in the list of activities. Double-click on it and click on Force Quit. Then re-start App Store. In my case, Photo had already been updated to v1.9.1 and that is why I think App Store couldn't update Photo app.

Okay, the Johnannes solution worked for me, but I'd really like to ditch any updates via App Store. Since I have genuinely purchased Photo, I just wonder if Affinity could offer the option to download the app from their site with a free registration key. Otherwise, I think I may end up with the same problem again. And as someone noted, Affinity Photo at one stage was only available via the App Store. So, I don't think my suggestion is unreasonable.

I downloaded Affinity Photo a couple of years ago via Apple's App Store. With the recent promotion, I registered my copy of Photo and it was updated to version 1.9.1. The problem is that App Store still thinks I have to update to 1.9.1. Even if I hide the update, App Store still informs me that I have an update pending. How do I de-link my copy of Photo from the app store and just source my updates from Affinity?
