@Ash, I'm sure that all of us here would be glad to be proven wrong. Respectfully, the letter you wrote comes off dishonest and full of nonsense. That's why I'm here expressing disappointment, and from the looks of it many others had the same interpretation. At the least, please do everything you can to protect our indefinite access to V2 because that is what we were promised at purchase. Offline activation for our current installers is only way you could guarantee this, and I've seen staff state in another thread that you will not be providing that. How else could you assure us that we won't get screwed over when you have sold your authority to others? Having a 100% guarantee of what you already promised us should have been part of the deal. Personally, I didn't even know this would be an issue when I purchased V2, I just trusted your company and assumed this wouldn't be an issue. If you took the time to read this, thank you, and I do hope you are sincere and not just performing phony damage control.

Very sad news to read this morning. I understand the motivation to sell out for a big payday. However, the letter from Ash is insultingly disingenuous. Serif owners should have acted with integrity in this deal and at least provided offline activation for V2 owners so that their promise to us of perpetual license could be protected. There's something satisfying about seeing everyone here not fooled by the nonsense. We will be fortunate to see a future where FOSS thrives and provides powerful creative tools for everyone. It may just be the only safe haven from greed. Goodbye to Affinity as we've known it. I'm thankful for the good times. So it goes...

Hello, I have Affinity Photo, Designer, and Publisher installed on my PC. I have used the 'my account' window in Photo to download all my available add-on content. However, the same content is shown as not-installed/ready to download in both Designer & Publisher. Is this as-intended or is something wrong? Once I registered Designer & Publisher their relevant content showed up in the Photo downloader, so I assumed it would sync across all apps. I also don't want to waste drive space by downloading everything three times. Thank you to whomever may help me with this issue.
