Can anyone in this thread who hasn't already please answer the following questions (assuming you're still having problems registering of course!)? Note there's an extra question I haven't previously asked! Did you buy the app from the Microsoft Store? What version of Microsoft Store do you have running (found towards the bottom of the Settings page)? What's the version number of c:\windows\system32\RuntimeBroker.exe? Are you running any anti-virus software? If so, what is it? Thanks in advance! Your help is much appreciated! I have Affinity Designer and Photo installed on a Surface Book 2 and a desktop computer, obtained from my Microsoft store account. I've updated the apps to version 1.9 of both systems, and logged into my account successfully (downloading all my additional purchases) on my desktop computer. However, I get the error when attempting the same on my Surface Book 2. Both systems have the following version information Purchased: Windows Store Windows-Store-Version: 12011.1001.1.0 RuntimeBroker-Version: 10.0.19041.746 Windows-Build: 10.0.19042 Windows defender and Acronis backup ransomware protection I have installed the apps on an iPad pro and iPad Air 2 and logged into my account with no issues, updating additional content Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quit the app via the settings, reset, uninstalled and finally reinstalled. I went through each step individually. Adguard was completely switched off. Only Windows Defener was active. No change, I still can't log in. The problem occurs equally on my PC and my Surface. Very unfortunate because I bought several brushes that I can't use now. I hope for a solution soon!

ian kelsall Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 for those who purchased from the microsoft store, there should be a provision for us to be able to download the free content as paid customers. clearly this problem of signing in is not going to be fixed by affinity.

Affinity provide instructions on how to manually install the content (if you have an Affinity store account already) which I have used on my Surface Book until the problem is resolved - which I am sure it will be as it already works on my desktop computer which has also been updated to version 1.9 - both installations were done from my Microsoft store account!

Steve Cronin Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 24 minutes ago, mak1631 said: I have done that not working still The other thing I did which maybe is relevant, is that when the beta didn't run first of all, I uninstalled the Windows store version (after selecting reset from advanced options, then uninstall), then when I ran the beta version it complained that the Windows store version needed to be installed (for license information) so what I did (as exactly as I remember): Downloaded and installed the beta version. On running, this didn't appear to launch. Uninstall Windows store version from add or remove programs - select advanced options - select reset, select uninstall Ran the beta version, which complained that Windows store version was needed for license info Re-installed the Windows store version Ran the beta version again - which didn't actually launch (as before), but also didn't appear to error as to why it didn't launch Ran the Windows store version - which now allowed me to login to my Affinity account. Uninstalled the beta version (which is a simple uninstall - no advanced option this time) Ran the Windows store version again, logged into my account and downloaded all my additional content. Repeated the above for both Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo Hope this helps, or at least gives the developers some clues as to what the problem might be generally!

Alexandre Cardoso Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 **** HOTFIX to connect your account to Affinity Photo downloaded from the MS Store version 1.9 **** 1. Remove the app that you downloaded from MS store. 2. Download the trial version of Affinity Photo 1.9. Install it and run it in trial mode. Close the app. 3. Connect to MS store and download your copy of Affinity Photo. After Install finishes you run the app. Register your software and download the free offers. 4. You can now remove the trial app that you downloaded and installed from the oficial web site. 5. Have fun with your registered app bought in the MS store. The end. dward, Wendell and Steve Cronin 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendell Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Thank you, Alexandre, that worked great! Once I got Photo installed and working using your instructions, I was able to sign in to Designer and Publisher as well. Great job in figuring that out! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
