cgw Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I would like to deactivate the Affinity Photo 1.8 on a laptop so I can hand it to another AP user who would then enter his own registration details. I have found various previous posts on a similar theme that suggest deleting the licence.xml file in the hidden directory C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Photo\1.0. In File Explorer but all this has are two further empty subfolders for lensprofiles and plugins. Thanks in advance for any help, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted June 23, 2020 Staff Share Posted June 23, 2020 Hi cgw, Welcome to Affinity Forums You can find the license here: C:\ProgramData\Affinity\{APPNAME}\1.0\licence.xml or C:\Program Files\Affinity\{APPNAME}\licence.xml Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgw Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 Hi, As I said in my post, there is nothing in that folder for Photo! However after some more searching, I have found the licence located in C:\Program Files\Affinity\Affinity Photo\licence.xml I presume it was moved when v1.8 was brought out. For Designer, it is where you mentioned but I can't find Publisher's licence anywhere. Regards, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProgramData (where you found nothing) and Program Files (where you found it, though in a slightly different subdirectory name). For Publisher, I think you'll always find it in the ProgramData version, if you purchased directly from Serif, as you'll see on my Windows copy: (If you did not purchase from Serif, your license is tied to your Microsoft Store account, and you would not have that file.)
