IanWilson Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Now that Affinity Photo is in the App Store (good news!) what is the license like? Can I install it both on my iMac and my MacBook Pro for one purchase? Ian psoula and HaroldBark 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon1 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Yeah you can install it on more than one Mac but you are restricted to use only one download for commercial purpose. (when you own the two Macs it´s somehow pointless but you shouldn´t give one mac (with a downloaded version of AD/AP from your Apple ID) to your staff - that would be illegal.) At least that´s how I got it.... MEB is probably going to specify it in a second :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanWilson Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 OK - thanks. I'm not using it commercially in any case. Just an enthusiastic amateur. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 9, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 9, 2015 Hi Ian, Yes, you can install it on both computers. Just make sure you sign-in in the App Store app with the same Apple ID you used to purchase Affinity Photo on the first computer.

Staff MEB Posted July 9, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 9, 2015 Hi MBd, You were close ;) For commercial individual use you can install it in two computers. On a home environment you can install it on up to five computers.

Konstbeck Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Hello, Can I use one license for my Mac an one for my Windows PC at the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted December 21, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 21, 2016 Hi Konstbeck, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) No, you have to purchase one license for each platform. The Mac version is available to purchase through the Mac App Store while the Windows version is available through our website (Affinity Store).

jvalentin Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 First of all, I believe your products look pretty amazing, from the videos I've seen. I have to tell you that I think this is a bad deal for the consumer. Most of the software products I purchase can be used on both Mac and Windows, and one license covers usage on both. To require the user to purchase one of each is unfair, as it's the same product, and the need to use it on each is as common as the need to have both operating systems.Typically, I use my Mac for professional web designing, and my Windows for hobby crafting, and I hate the requirement of having to purchase separate licenses. That being said, I would gladly pay a global license to use all of your products if this limitation was removed. Just my two cents, but I believe it's a common sentiment.

vikramnagend Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I have purchased Affinity Designer Windows version for my Desktop. Can I use the same setup files and license details to install on my Laptop as well?? Or I have to purchase one more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted January 11, 2017 Staff Share Posted January 11, 2017 @vikramnagend - You are welcome to install Affinity Designer on your laptop. Simply download it on the laptop or transfer the download and install it as you did on the desktop. @jvalentin - I understand what you have said however this is down to the app being sold on the Apple store. We would have no way of telling Apple someone has purchased it on Windows and vice versa. We have already set the base price of the apps very low. Purchasing two separate licenses for Affinity is still often a lot cheaper than purchasing a single license for some of our competitors.

Roboticienfr Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Hi everybody, I bought an Ipad Pro 10.5 and I would like to know if a can buy Affinity Photo for iOS and use this license for my macbook pro?

Staff MEB Posted July 3, 2017 Staff Share Posted July 3, 2017 Hi Roboticienfr, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) No, that's not possible. Each platform requires its own license. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tleparskas Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I want to re-install Affinity on my laptop. I have one license and the software runs fine on my PC. Just re-installing fresh version on Windows on it and re-set it. I downloaded a new version from the website - but its a trial - no menu choice to enter license information in it. Help please.

You can't convert the trial version to a full version. The two versions are separate downloads. If you already have a licence for the Windows version of either of the Affinity apps, you can find the download link and your product key by logging in to your Affinity Store account and visiting the 'Downloads & Product Keys' page.

Staff MEB Posted November 6, 2017 Staff Share Posted November 6, 2017 Hi Francky, Welcome to Affinity Forums If you are the only one using the program for commercial purposes in both your job (assuming you are the one in control of the computer on your job) and home yes, you can install it on both. If someone else is also using the computer's at the company to produce work (commercial use) then no, you must acquire a license for yourself. Here's a link to the End User License Agreement for Windows (the terms are similar for the Macintosh). awisqirani and Francky 2 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamJaramillo Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Hi, I'm about to purchase a license of Designer for Windows (already have the Mac combo) and I would like to install it at work, but never for commercial purposes, solely personal. Will I be able to uninstall or deactivate the license in the future or something like that? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ido Ben David Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 So I’ve got a question, I am a student in middle school and my school giving an class of digital art but my problem is that we using photoshop elements now I understand that this program is one purchase and it’s will be for multiple computers. So my question is if I my school will buy this program and will use it as the program in digital art it’s will be ok to buy it once for multiple Macintosh computers? Thx a lot for making this amazing program, Ido. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ido Ben David, Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums The Licensing for use in an educational environment is NOT the same as for personal use or for business use. Our License Agreement has 3 sections covering each of these cases. https://affinity.serif.com/license Quote .... .... if you are an educational institution, to download, install, use and run, one (1) copy of the Serif Software for use either: (a) by a single individual on each of the Windows Computer(s) that they use that you own or control, or (b) by multiple individuals on a single shared Windows Computer that you own or control. For example, a single student may use the Serif Software on both the student's desktop Windows Computer and laptop Windows Computer, or multiple students may serially use the Serif Software on a single Windows Computer located at a resource center or library. The Mac license through the Mac App Store is different, but our schools/corporate team can provide multiple license outside of the store and could clarify the exact situation edusales@serif.com Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

Mandu Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Hello, I've read the 1. statement from the License Agreement that covers my use of software but it nowhere states about how many times we can use our serial key to install it. The very first staff post from MEB mention 5 times for personal/home and 2 times for professional/office use. In the L.A. it doesn't say anything about that. I have already installed AP both at home and in the office, but how the software knows where and for what purpose I have installed the program? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bardo70 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Hi question, at home we have two accounts, my wife has an affinity designer and I've got affinity photo, both app at amazing. Now, question, can we both use (all pc/laptops using windows) both apps on our our laptops? Should/can we merge the accounts? We are not using them commercially (unless you take into account a few changes to some images for ppt, as in delete white background). I guess the answer is yes, but just want to be on the safe side.
