mallen Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I'm confused, is the Affinity main website separate from the forum website? I can't sign in the store using my credentials. If they are, how do I sign up in the store. Cant seem to find the sign up button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashf Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 that's usually normal on many software developers' site. you have to purchase something on the store to signup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallen Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 yes I'm aware, what threw me off was how the forum sign up was separate. Normally from my experience with some sites, the forums and store sign up are one account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally from my experience with some sites, the forums and store sign up are one account. Anyone can sign in and use the forums. Only those who have purchased something for Affinity from the Store (or download some free content, if they purchased the applications elsewhere) can sign in to the Affinity Store. There is also no requirement that you use the same email address or password for the Store and for the forums. ashf 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashf Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Also separate account is better in terms of security. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
