It means that a registered family member can use their own Apple ID to install the app purchased by another family member -- they do not need to use (or even know) the Apple ID & password of the family member who purchased the app. 2 hours ago, thomaso said: This makes me wonder why an installed Serif Store purchase does not by default occur in the applications folder for other users but requires an extra installation process for other users on the same hardware? I am not sure what you mean. By default an app purchased from the Affinity Store is installed in the top level Applications folder, so it is already usable by any other user of that Mac, unless they have a managed user account, one where an admin user has restricted their use of that specific app (or any other app, wherever it was bought). thomaso 1 All 3 1.10.6, & all 3 V21.1 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.6; Affinity Designer 1.10.6; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick, you may agree that IF Serif Labs had an stable version of Publisher already they certainly would give us an exact date for release, BUT, it ain’t stable in current beta version running on an M1 iPad with iPadOS 16.1 beta 1… That’s the problem… So, everybody here on this forum longing for Publisher to our beloved iPad - don’t sit up waiting for this just now, aim the release to next summer so you guys don’t get upset… Happy amateur that playing around with the Affinity Suite - really love typograhics, photographing, colors & forms...

Alan Drury Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I wonder is Serif would ever consider some tools for signmakers/plotter users. It's a large potential market. Bespoke sign programs are a fortune to buy and with Adobe and Corel following the very unpopular subscription model it could be lucrative. Support for vba is another option so 3rd parties could write macros/plugins. There are many free and paid for macros that significantly add usability to Crel Draw.

Naprawdę, chciałbym dać ci dużo pieniędzy na programy, które mam nadzieję, że są tworzone (po prostu powiedz nam o tym) i które nie będą miały wielu błędów. Nie chcę niczego za darmo - zarabiam pieniądze tworząc za pomocą twojego oprogramowania. I want to give you my money, which I keep for updating CorelDraw (much more money than 3 affinity programs). Give me a reason for this money to go to serif, not CorelDraw. Really, I'd like to give you a lot of money for programs that I hope are being created (just tell us about it) and that won't have many bugs. I don't want anything for free-I make money creating with your software. I fully agree with Grafkom. PLEASE don't go disappear on us (or get sold to a corporation that will start charging rent instead). I'm eager to give Serif my money (while my family still has an income) for additional programs (Video editing? Comic creation?) or useful plugin modules for specific tasks.
