SOLVED! After restarting and relaunching Designer again, the splash screen was displayed again. This time (I did not tried that before) I just hit the far right column (BUY) again.. (I could always cancel the payment confirmation, right?) Then... it suddenly worked: the screen (that apparently should have come up the first time I bought it). without a second payment, of course. Now I could complete the process and link my Affinity Serif account successfully. So, it apparently checks the previous purchase status before submitting a new purchase. (something one expects when you click that small link 'restore purchase' on the bottom.... hint for v2.0.1) In short: just smash that 'PURCHASE' button again! (after reboot)

Same here. Did NOT remove old (v1) MacApps. Downloaded and installed all three Serif Mac Apps v2 from Apple Mac AppStore launched Affinity Designer v2. bumper screen appeared. Hit the 3rd button (right) and bought a universal license via the Mac App Store (purchase is confirmed by Mail) nothing happened. waited 1 minute... smashed every button and killed the app. restarted the computer launched Affinity Designer v2... only the bumper screen appeared. running in circles I do understand that I need to "link" by Serif account to my apps before I can make full use of the universal license. But I also understand that I first need to pass the bumper/splash screen from the app via which I bought the License (Designer on Max). working on a badAss (full option) MacBook Pro 2021 with M1 Max Ventura 13.0 (will run the Ventura update in an hour). Quite a clean install I have. Only AppStore apps (exceptions: Dropbox, BackBlaze, Wacom, ImageOptim and mInstaller for the FCPX plug-ins) thanks

Any updates last year on block shadows? (maybe I missed something. aka I only use Affinity occasionally) thanks!
