Hi Cole McAllum
Welcome to Affinity Forums
1 - The Microsoft Store version runs on a sandboxed environment - while this increases security against malicious apps/developers it also put some constraints regarding the program's ability to interact with third party apps (for example to send files from/to other apps). If you do intend to use it this way the Affinity Store may be a better option. Other differences you will find: the Microsoft Store version can update the application automatically as long as auto updates are enabled, our version must be updated manually; there's no product keys for the Microsoft Store version; uninstalling the Microsoft Store version delete/throws away any customization you may have made in case you decide to (re)install it later - the Affinity Store version keeps some user data in case you decide to install the app later. The Microsoft Store also impose a limit on the number of machines you can install the program on (which i believe is ten - still have to confirm this). For the Affinity Store check my reply below.
2 - You can install the application on all computers you own/control as long as you are the only one using the software for commercial purposes. Check our End User License Agreement (EULA) for more details.

Hello form the UK.
I am an Adobe Cloud user and find myself using 3D and Video in Photoshop CC less these days. So I decided to try the Trial version of Affinity Photo.
To my delight, Affinity Photo does nearly all I need from Photoshop and it is looking more and more likely I'll be ending my Adobe Cloud Subscription and buying Affinity Photo.
Now that raises a question, and I guess I should post that in the questions section of the forum, so for now I'll continue my personal introduction...
I am retired and enjoy happy-snapping photography and editing to pass some time. I also create graphics for a couple of clubs and local charities.
Far from being an expert, I would class myself as an intermediate (willing to learn) amateur.
I'm looking forward to becoming an active member of this forum where I hope to learn much and (occasionally) maybe even help other members.
