zwilson Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I recently bought a new computer to replace an old one. I want to use my Affinity programs on my new computer. So, do I just uninstall the programs on the old computer then download the programs on the new computer and use the same keys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 If both computers run MacOS or both computers run Windows you don't even need to uninstall on the old computer, unless you're giving it to someone else or selling it. Just install on the new computer. How you install, though, depends on where you purchased the applications. If you purchased from the Mac App Store, or the Microsoft Store, you need to login to those stores on the new computer, using the same identity you used for the initial purchase, and you should find them in your library of already purchased programs. If from the Affinity Store, you can download from https://affinity.store/account/downloads, which will also give you the product key and email info you'll need. However, if one is Mac and one is Windows, you need to purchase a new license, as the licenses are platform-specific.
