EvaBirgitta Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I've tried to install Photo 4 times and it keeps failing. I'm talking about the free trial. I have a windows 10 laptop (Asus). I managed to install the free trial to Publisher yesterday until I finally realized that it was the Photo version I needed because version is comparable with Photoshop. Are you only allowed to use one trial version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, @EvaBirgitta. You can have trials of multiple applications installed at the same time. If an installation fails on Windows it is sometimes necessary to restart Windows, and sometimes after that to right-click on the installer .exe file and choose Run as Administrator. I would start by trying that, but if the installation still fails there are follow-on actions we could suggest.

EvaBirgitta Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 It worked! I posted another question, maybe I can also ask here? Buying a bundle of Affinity apps or do I need to buy them separate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a response to a question a few months ago by one of the Serif staff: Quote If you wish to discuss your options for purchasing a bundle of software please email affinity@serif.com.

EvaBirgitta Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 I used the word "bundle" the wrong way. If I understand it correctly, I need to buy them separate, i.e. Publisher, Photo and Designer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be able to buy them as a bundle (all 3 applications, for example, with one purchase), for a lower price than buying all 3 separately. But if you want to do that you need to contact Serif via email.

EvaBirgitta Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 I bought all 3 this morning, tried to download twice, both failed even though I restarted my laptop after the first try. What to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 If the download is failing, I'm not sure you can do anything except keep trying it. Possibly a different browser would work?
