Pascal Parvex Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 Hi, This is my first posting in this forum. I bought all three Affinity programs some time ago, directly on Serif.com. Is there a way I can unlock the Windows Store versions for free, too? Best, Pascal Quote

No - they are completely independent and unrelated store.

GarryP Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) Welcome to the forums @Pascal Parvex If you have already purchased and installed the applications you got from Serif, why would you want to also want to get them from the Microsoft Store? (I'm assuming that you purchased the Windows versions from Serif as you didn't say.) Edited June 25, 2021 by GarryP Added further clarification. Quote

Well, it would be nice to have them on the Windows store, as this way it would be easier to install them. Quote

On the other hand, with the Windows Store versions you cannot easily revert to an earlier release if you need to for some reason.
