Staff AdamW Posted January 21, 2020 Staff Posted January 21, 2020 Status: Beta Purpose: Stability and General Testing Requirements: Purchased Affinity Publisher Mac App Store: Not submitted Download: Download Auto-update: Not Available --- Hi, We are pleased to announce that a new Customer Beta of Affinity Publisher (1.8.0.535) is now available as a download from the link above. As this is a 'Stability and General Testing' beta it is considered to be not suitable for production use. This means that you should not attempt to use it for commercial purposes or for any other activity where you may be adversely affected by the application failing, including the total loss of any documents. We hope you enjoy the beta, and as always, if you've got any problems installing or running up, please don't hesitate to post in this thread. Any problems actually using this version please make a new topic in this forum and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

Are you sure you downloaded the Windows beta EXE and not the Mac beta .ZIP file? The announcement threads are an appropriate place for these posts if the software won't install - I believe you want the Publisher beta on Windows forum: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/58-publisher-beta-on-windows/ and you will need the Windows beta from the link at the top of this post, https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/105717-affinity-publisher-customer-beta-180535/ ...not the mac beta download linked in this post you are in.
Staff Patrick Connor Posted February 5, 2020 Staff Posted February 5, 2020 @DJ! I have tweaked fde101's reply as I think that was the problem, with the Mac beta ZIP from this post not being the one you need fde101 1 Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!
