If you purchased from the Mac App Store then you can only update via the Mac App Store. Apple Support should be able to help you regain access again,

No. Apple cannot help me. 

Let this be a warning to Mac users. You can be locked out of your account, forever, for failing to answer a question correctly, if you change countries. Offered to goto a store and show passport and anything else they need. Nope. No go.

 

thousands of dollars in apps lost across mac and iPhone and iPad.

Is there any way I can transfer my license to get at updates?

    You cannot transfer from the Mac App Store to access the Mac version from the Affinity Store instead (or vice-versa)

 

At least the worlds are consistent.

Can I barter some content for a license?

@deeds

I have moved your posts here as the question is not about our 1.10.5 release

Well all the time that this thread was going we had an amazing 50% sale on, which unfortunately has now ended. In all my bartering I've never done better than that

For future reference: nobody is ever going to think the solution to a problem like this is buying another license for something they already own.

 

So I was oblivious to the sale. You clearly weren't, and could have pointed out two helpful things:

 

The policy

The promotion

Sorry that you were not aware of the promotion in time.My attention was only drawn to this thread after I was quoted tweeted on Tuesday (just after the sale ended) that quote being a reference to the Policy. I think that you are entitled to your iCloud account back and hope that is achievable, as I'm sure that losing our software is the least of the problems when that happens
