Windows store and licensing

[GabrielFotoPoto]

Hi everybody, just a question about licensing, I bought Affinity Photo with Windows Store but I do not see my license on my Affinity Account, is that normal? I think it was a good thing if we can see all our licence on the both store (Microsoft and Affinity).

An other question, with the Windows Store the files size are 100mo but with the installer download on the web site the files size are 950mo, why this difference?

The Affinity Store and the Microsoft Store have no connection with each other at all; no data is shared so it is not possible for your Affinity account to show any information about your purchase.  No serial keys are involved for you because the Store version does not use one; the purchase is linked direct to your account at the Store.

As to file sizes, I have no idea why the Store installer is apparently so small, but I have never seen any Affinity download to be anything like 950 MB.  (I've just checked on my computer and the latest release version of APh, 1.8.3, is 503,855 KB, so less than 500 MB.)

Thanks for your answer, so I do not know what is the better, too late for me, I just bought now the 2 products on the Microsoft Store, so now I have the 3 on the MS Store.
