I just got the brand new Canon RF 18-45mm APS-C format lens, but a profile for that lens is missing in the desktop Affinity apps.

Thanks for the quick answer.

I installed Photo from the Apple App Store, so it does not show up in my "real" Affinity-purchased apps here. I understand I need the actual Affinity-sourced version to run TopazLabs apps as plug-ins. The question is: If I download and install Photo here, can I still register it as a purchased program here even though originally it was from the App store?

Problem solved, legally! While reading the Ts&Cs of the iTunes store agreement, I came upon this: a. Scope of License: Licensor grants to you a nontransferable license to use the Licensed Application on any Apple-branded products that you own or control and as permitted by the Usage Rules. [Emphasis added] Since "any" would include both Macs I now own, I signed into the iTunes store from my second Mac, and saw that "Install" was available for Affinity Photo. I clicked on "install" and, lo and behold, version 1.5.2 replaced the old version, and I now have 1.5.2 on both computers. My bad for not having realized this before.

So, I could loan my other Mac (for which I purchased Affinity Photo) to someone else, while still retaining ownership--in perpetuity or even just for an hour-- and I guess I've violated the license agreement during that time. I hope Affinity doesn't track me down!!

Well, I haven't read the fine print of the licensing agreement, so I won't dispute R C-R on this. There may be some legal distinction between 1) transferring a license to someone else and 2) selling a computer with the license to another person (my situation), but that's not to be litigated here. Still, many other programs have a "check for updates" feature that doesn't require proof that I'm still the person who bought the original program. That said, the used Mac I bought also had a full Microsoft Office license, and that set of programs still works even though I suppose the license was effectively "transferred" to me.

I purchased a Mac with Affinity Photo 1.4.1 installed, and I'd like to get version 1.5. But, 1.4.1 was installed under the previous owner's Apple ID, which I don't have of course, so I can't upgrade. How can I get the upgrade I'm entitled to?

+1 one this post. Even better yet, do as many other trials do--allow continued use of the trial, but no saving of files permitted. I'm working my way through the tutorials, but my 10-day trial has expired, and I'm still not 100% sure I want to replace Photoshop Elements with Affinity Photo. It also appears you can't just purchase a license key and then enter it in the program. A full reinstallation appears necessary.
