Tony77 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Hello,I should change workstations soon because my pc is having problems with the motherboard,On the PC that is having problems I installed all the Affinity suite (Photo, Designer and Publisher) regularly purchased.I would like to know how I can deactivate the licenses from this PC and activate them on the new one.I also wanted to know if the 3 licenses can be installed not only on a fixed PC but also on a laptop ... or should other licenses be purchased?Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 You can install each program that you've licensed on as many Windows PCs as you personally own or control, as long as no one but you uses them for commercial purposes.

Theophilus Q Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Hello, this is my first visit to this forum EVER!! I have Affinity suite installed on 2 computers. I only came here because an hour ago I was having problems using the Affinity suite which I had earlier installed on my second computer; I hadn't yet used it tho. Anyway, EVERY component kept crashing on me as soon as I tried to open or create ANYTHING. I came here to make sure I was right about actually being able to install it on more than one, or not. THIS POST ANSWERS THAT QUESTION! It was such a nice co-inky-dink (coincidence) that I had to post. ...Something I RARELY DO!! In any case, Thank you BOTH for asking (and answering) my question. I'll have to deal with the crashes later as I have to eat right now. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So practically only one license can be used for commercial purposes .... if this license is inserted on other PCs always in my possession .... they can be used but not for commercial purposes.Basically a commercial license = 1 pcEven if "I knew" that usually a program can be installed both on a fixed and on a notebook and be both valid for commercial purposes .... obviously installed on other PCs it is no longer valid commercially .... this usually it happens with the other software that I use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other people can (with your permission!) use the software for personal projects on one of your PCs, but for commercial use they would need additional licences.

Ok as I understand I can also install it on three PCs ... the important thing is that they are used only by me for commercial purposes .... do I understand correctly?
