Hello Simon and thanks a lot for your answer. I completely understand that there are more pressing things to do first and I‘m really looking forward to your new V2 courses on Photo/Designer! Greetings, Andreas

As V2 finally supports Footnotes I‘m actually able to make the switch from InDesign to Affinity Publisher, but without grep styles it still is quite a lot of work to get the same results as before. I would really be nice if Serif could include this functionality in a future update to V2.

Hello Simon, any chance on you doing a course on Publisher as well? I bought all your courses on Photo and Designer on Udemy, but so far I haven't found a decent course for Publisher anywhere. Greetings and thank you for your great courses! Andreas

Hi, thanks for your reply. About the Windows situation: I asked because the non app version V1 worked exactly like I mentioned: Install it using one user, and it works for every other user of that machine. I know that the new app installer seems to work differently, but still, it is a bit inconvenient to do the activation all over again for each user of the PC and I was a bit worried it might trigger an activation lock. Possibly, you could have differentiated here between private licenses and school/commercial licenses. On an iPad, sadly, there is no multi-user mode, no. It is a managed device via Screen Time (so I can control what my son can do on it etc. via my own iPad) but it is using his AppleID and I can't simply swap that out and change back (well you can change it, but your software activation won't stick, because it is linked to your AppleID).

Hello there, I bought the universal license directly from Serif (thought this would maximize Serif's profit in contrast to the App Store) and I'm still in need for some clarification concerning the activation process in family households: 1. On Windows: No matter if I install the Windows Store version or the direct download from Serif I can activate the software with my login data using my Windows Account. That works fine. As soon as I switch to my wife's user account, I have to install the app again (from store or direct download) and then it asks me again for my login data to activate: Is that correct? Shouldn't there be a way for the app to realize that it is already activated for another user of the same PC? Will I get into trouble if Serif's server sees two activations with different Windows user accounts or does it create a Hardware-Hash to notice that it is actually the same machine again and then it's fine? 2. On iPadOS: It states that family sharing is enabled. If I activate the software on my iPad that works fine with the login data. How do I install and activate V2 on my son's iPad? Do I have to login on his iPad with my own user data? Will I get into trouble with the activation server there as the AppleID is definitely different than mine? Thanks in advance for your help and sorry if some questions might have been answered already!
