I want to buy Affinity Designer (for Windows). I will be the only user. I work on two PCs. My desktop and my laptop. I'd like to know if in this case I need two licenses, or if I can use the same license in both computers.

I'm copying the both the email and license from the accounts page and using the paste button in the Validation dialog. I've also tried entering both by hand. Neither will work. I have 1.50 installed and licensed, so the validation worked with it.

Hi, I have a Mac laptop and Windows desktop; would I need to buy two licenses to get the software on both computers? Thanks, Ross

Hi Affinity Team, I'm I able to get a copy of the Affinity Designer for Mac Terms and Conditions and any other legal components of it required for creating works. Many Thanks,

Hello, I have an idea regarding users who have purchased an Affinity license for one platform and want to use it on an additional operating system. For example, I have both a macbook and a windows PC. I purchased Affinity Photo and Designer for my macbook, but now I'd also like to use them on my PC. I can't afford to pay another $100 for apps that I've already purchased. Plus, once Publisher comes out as well as the ipad apps, I'll be investing even more money into Affinity. Now, had I just purchased an imac instead of a PC I could have gotten these second copies of Affinity for free because with an itunes account any app you purchase can be downloaded to any device associated with that apple ID. So why should it be different cross platform? Now, I fully understand that there is a lot of software out there that isn't transferable from windows to mac, but it isn't an obsolete idea either. The entire basis of Steam (the game management service) is purchasing one license that can be downloaded to whatever OS it is available for. Plus, wouldn't offering this service add to the innovative system that Affinity is trying to create? My point is, a lot of people, myself included, won't purchase a second copy for a second operating system when I could just walk to that device and use it instead, or get a free screen-mirroring service. So for the sake of the consumers convenience, I think that you should consider making this a possibility. But what about people giving away their "free" copy of affinity for the operating system they don't have? Well to work around that Affinity could offer their purchases/licenses right through their website (rather than using the app store) and you could log into the app with your affinity account to use them. It could be limited to one log in per account at a time. Or possibly a verification of your apple ID, and the email associated with your Microsoft account. Or purchasing a license could simply come with two copies similar to Microsoft Office. There are a multitude of ways to work around the issue. An alternate option would be to offer a discount to those that have already purchased one license. I would be more willing to buy a second copy if it were only say $20 than to pay the full price again. I hope that your team takes this idea into serious consideration! -Kalahgen

Hi all, I'm planning to move from a MacBook Pro to Microsoft Surface Book. Is there a way to transfer or port my macOS license to the new (hopefully soon) released Affinity Designer for Windows ? Thanx in advance, Spoony

I couldn't find any topic related to this, if there is one, please forgive me. So, Affinity Designer is available to acquisition in 1.5 version. I will get a new laptop next Black Friday and I was wondering if I'll be able to use my license on it and uninstall from this laptop, or will I have to get other license?

Hi all, I have a licensed Affinity Photo on my MacBook Pro and I am planning on replacing the MBP by a newer one and maybe selling the older one. Is it enough to simply detach the whole MBP from my Apple-ID and thus void the license or do I have to take further actions in order to make the license from that MBP available again to me? Kind regards Frank

Hello, We plan to buy 5 licenses of Affinity designer (1 has been bought already) for our business. As it happens, volume/business licensing for Apple isn't available in India yet. Could you please let us know what's the best way to procure the licenses. Of course, it's not possible for us to buy 5 licenses from 5 different Apple account since we don't have that many cards to link with accounts separately :) Regards, Shishir

Will after purchase be possible use one purchased license / serial to use both for mac an for windows version? (after windows version released)? As far as I know adobe allows for 2 machines per user, just not sure if even crossplatform. Because i believe that woulb be great for some people living "in both worlds" I ask as I would like after purchase to have one installation on my windows pc at home, and one on my iMac at work, will that be possible ?

See my question above!

Some time ago I purchased Affinity Designer from the App Store while running on my laptop at work. If I want to use Designer when I'm at home, do I have to purchase another license, or is there some way to install and use the software on more than one machine, as long as only one is being used at a time? Thanks! Jim

I want to buy Affinity but I want to know if I will have some register problems If I install it on my own computer at home and at the same time on the computer at work to use it in free times.
