unable to sign in to My Account


Recommended Posts

I've just reinstalled the Affinity apps on my Windows machine, and when I go to My Account, and try to sign in, it takes a few moments and then the message:

Timeout while waiting for registration service "ready" notification

comes up.

My network and internet all appear to be working fine - is there an issue with the registration service systems?

Edited to add, the message comes with a Try Again and a Remind Me Later button. Have tried again, and then tried again after about an hour

thanks

 I see some other posts with the same issue, so it's not just me 😀

Will wait and see what happens

No issue here.

EDIT: There is now. Must be the Serif server!

FWIW, I am not having any issues using the My Account feature in any of the Affinity apps on my Mac. So maybe this is somehow a problem affecting only the Windows versions?

Ali mentioned in another thread about signing in while running the apps with administrator privilege - this worked for me.

Just wanted to let you know that we've had quite a few reports of this over the past 24 hours on both Windows and macOS. Our developers are investigating 👍

For what little it is worth, it is still working fine for me.

Thanks Cadarnfel! I can confirm that running Photo in Admin worked for me as well.

Have not been able to sign in all week either, also on the Windows versions. I haven't tried admin mode, but honestly that would be a terrible solution if that's the case. Hopefully the devs get this sorted soon, because there should be no reason any of these programs need elevated privileges. Especially not to contact Serif's registration servers.

I'm having the exact same issue with Affinity Designer as outlined below. However, that I've been able to log in to Affinity Photo.

It's the same for me, tryed several days, nothing happens

Howerever when I go to there website, and login than it's working.

It's a little bit weird.

The message I get:Timeout while waiting for registration service "ready" notification.

First I tried the repair option, but that did't work, because my tools where disappeared.

I turned back on via studio, but everytime I quit the program , the tools disappear again and must them activate them.

Finally I reinstalled the program, and everything works again , exept the message I got ( Timeout....

Did you try Run as Administrator?

Unable to register issue :  

This resolves the issue with registration on Win 10 and windows 11 machines.   On your desktop go to the Affinity Designer Icon > Right Click > select Run as administrator. Once the app opens go to Sign in and Register your Affinity Designer.

Has the Mac OS fix been completed?

I’ve been trying for some time to sign in via both Affinity Designer and Photo but getting the same “Timeout while waiting for registration service “ready” notification “ as indicated by others on this thread.

Have also reinstalled Designer and Photo to the latest versions as well as Mojave but still no luck.

We will have an update out for macOS today that should resolve this issue. Wait for the update prompt and try again.

Do you mean an 1.10.x update for the retail or for the beta version(s) of the Affinity apps?

Either way, I can't even find any 1.10.5 updates for any of the Mac retail apps, either retail or beta. I bought AP & AD from the Mac App Store & APub from the Affinity Store. The MAS app shows no updates available & the current versions of AP & AD at 1.10.4. The APub 'check for updates' option tells me I am up-to-date with version 1.10.4.

@Patrick Connor’s post here indicates that version 1.10.4 is the latest version for the macOS apps:

However, if I go to the Affinity Store Updates pages I see DMG downloads for version 1.10.5 of each app:
