With Trial version I cannot open Affinity


Recommended Posts

I have several weeks left in my trial.  I had downloaded Affinity, working well.  BUT this is no longer the case. The Affinity Icon is in my dock.  Affinity shows in my top bar (after the Apple logo) and the drop down menu works .  But clicking the Affinity Icon in my dock ..nothing comes up. !!  Nothing  of Affinity shows on the screen.  What can I do to bring back Affinity to my main screen?   Using a 2016 MacBookPro Mohave OS

Hi and welcome to the forums BOGO

First things first you should edit your post and remove the email address so as to foil spammers.

Your problem may be that there is no open document so try a simple Command + N for a new document. Second possible is caused by a second monitor, the program may be showing up in the second monitor space, whether it is attached or not. Has been years since I ran dual monitors so I have forgotten all the tricks.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.2 
Affinity Designer 2.3.1 | Affinity Photo 2.3.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.3.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Curiosity question from a Windows user: Shouldn't clicking on the application name in the top bar provide a menu, since the application is apparently already running?

To Walt & Old Bruce   

Many Thanks for very quick and accurate 'fix' on my problem,  (I only wish all my problems could be handled this way!!)  I have been using a Mac for over 19  years and this is the first time I ever used Cmd +N..  It worked as you said  !    Bogo
