We have been unable to replicate the issue you have reported, but we do hear of this happening from time-to-time. The quickest solution would be to try using PayPal as the payment option rather than credit/debit card but should wish to try a few things to get the payment through with your card, here's some advice that may help. As required in Europe, our payment portal uses 3D Secure for all transactions, this is not the case in all other regions so it may be that your card cannot purchase through portals that use 3D Secure, or your bank is not yet setup to accept payments that use 3D Secure. As this is not something we have any control over, you will need to discuss this with your bank. If you have purchased using a 3D Secure payment portal in the past and you know that it is not the above that is affecting the order, please ensure that your web browser and anti-virus software is up to date, also check that there aren't any browser plugins that may be preventing the security window appearing (The Honey extension especially has been known to cause issues) or try a different browser entirely. Finally check that your firewall is not blocking any part of the payment process.

It is my belief that any of the Affinity apps that are download directly from the App Store can be shared with family via Apple's Family Sharing feature. Is this correct @Patrick Connor?

I do not have any input on such things, or knowledge as to whether this would happen sorry.

Each. £161.98 total.

I have no input or knowledge of the end but based on experience and a bit of guess work, the launch offer will certainly have ended in January. Discount periods mean a high volume of emails, tweets and other queries. We shut down over Christmas so those emails, tweets and queries would go unanswered. So with that in mind, expect the sale to have finished by Christmas, additionally, given the surge in "I just missed the launch offer" contacts, it is likely to end sooner than that.

Hi Pondball, Please see this FAQ which I believe covers each of your queries; https://affinity.serif.com/affinity-2-faq/

As many of our apps are bought through third party App Stores we do not have a mechanism to offer upgrade pricing. This was why we decided to offer such a large launch discount—to give users an opportunity to upgrade at an incredible price. Upgrading is completely optional and, if you wish, you can continue to use the original apps for as long as you like.

We have not yet announced an end date for the launch offer, but as soon as we do we'll let everyone know via social media.

Hi @karin.eggimann, welcome to the Affinity forum. Please ensure that your web browser and anti-virus software is up to date, also check that there aren't any browser plugins that may be preventing the secure payment screen from appearing (The Honey extension especially has been known to cause issues) or try a different browser entirely.

Hi @lapinobel, I have been unable to locate your purchase with the details available and rather than ask you for them on a public forum, could you please contact affinity@serif.com so that I can do a bit more digging and hopefully locate licence? If you could include an Order ID or any other email addresses you may have used at the time of purchase in the email it would help immensely. Thanks!

Hi @lindka, As your Affinity app purchase was made through the Mac App Store it is tied to your Apple ID, and will also not require a Product Key. If you need to install it again, run the Mac App Store ensuring that you are signed in with the same account/credentials used to complete the purchase and the button which usually says "Buy" should instead say "Install", click on it to begin the installation of the program.

Hi @Wizace, welcome to the Affinity forum. It is likely that the verification email is landing in your Spam/Junk folder as we can see that you have a unique email domain that has likely not received emails from us before. As such we have manually verified your account for you. If you have any further questions about this issue, please contact affinity@serif.com.
