ina4301 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 My all three programs are updated to 1.9.2. Should I still keep the installation files of the previous versions or may I remove them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Welcome to the forums @ina4301 That’s entirely your choice and only you can make that decision. You can keep them if you think you might want to go back to them or delete them if you don’t think you will. We have no way to know if you might need to go back to previous versions as we don’t know your situation or temprament. Note that if you do downgrade to an earlier version then you might not be able to load documents created/saved in later versions. If you have the spare space then maybe keep the last two or three versions, just in case, but their possible usefulness to you cannot be guessed by anyone but you. P.S. If you purchased from Serif then you can download many previous versions via their store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn’t purchase from Serif then as far as I’m aware you can only revert to an earlier version via a system backup. The Mac App Store and the Microsoft Store don’t seem to offer an option for installing older versions. The Affinity Store versions of Designer for Mac can be found here: https://store.serif.com/update/macos/designer/1/ Replace ‘designer’ in the URL with photo or publisher for Photo or Publisher, respectively, and replace ‘macos’ with windows if you’re using Windows instead of macOS.

ina4301 Posted May 3, 2021 Author Share Posted May 3, 2021 Yes, I did purchase from Sherif. I was asking my question because I was not sure if the updates are fully functional standalone applications, or they were like add-ons to the core application and would not fully function if the previous versions are removed. Thank you for your replies, now I got it. Alfred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron P. Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I'll add that if you do revert to an earlier version, you will get the Newer Version Available nag dialog when launching. I don't know if there's a way to disable this, shy of getting into the system registration. ina4301 1 Quote Affinity Photo 2.4..; Affinity Designer 2.4..; Affinity Publisher 2.4..; Affinity2 Beta versions.
