Father time Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I've tried multiple times to download new version to my MacBook, it downloads for a while then gives an "error downloading, please try again later" message. Any suggestions? Using Safari and macOS12.6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron P. Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Welcome to the forums, Where are you trying to download from? MAS or Serif's / Affinity store, your account?

Father time Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 Got it! Opened "my Account" and downloaded it from there. The update feature was the problem. I have no idea why, but if the problem is solved, then I don't care why I had it. Thanks to those with suggestions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
