Yes, thank you - that helped me understand that things work diffenretly with the Universal License... I was fully expecting it would work like all Apple apps, iOS and Mac, work, you just hit restore in an app. I am all set now, thanks for your help!

Interesting additional observation: I have now downloaded all 3 apps from the Mac App Store on another Mac I own. The first app I opened after installation, Affinity Photo 2, presented me with the same screen like in my first post, and: "Restore Purchases" WORKED! Then I opened Designer 2 and Publisher 2 - same screen, but "Restore Purchases" doesn't work anymore.

No, I only can log in to an existing Affinity account or restore the password:

I purchased via In-App-Purchase (Mac App Store), I don't have any Affinity credentials other than the ones for the forum and thus didn't use any for the purchase - I need the "Restore Purchase" option to work. But thanks for the suggestion anyhow.

I purchased the Universal Licence for the Affinity 2 apps via an Affinity Photo 2 in-app purchase on my Mac (Ventura). After downloading also Designer 2 and Publisher 2 and starting any of those 2 apps I see the purchase options screen. I try to click "Restore Purchases" - nothing happens: I move the mouse over that line and I click, that window stays. I then started the trial period, but after closing and re-opening Designer 2 I get a similar window (only 2 options: Activate and Buy Now) and again the line "Restore Purchases": same behavior, I cannot click. The same thing is happening for Publisher 2. Anyone else has this issue? What can I do?
