LATEMPEST Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Hello, If (When) I purchase the V2 software does it install over the top of my V1 Affinifty Apps? I collaborate with a school that use Affinity V1 and I cannot see them updating the software very quickly, if at all, in the near future. I would still need to work on V1 files in collaboration with them and would still need access to my V1 apps. Do the V2 Apps during install delete / remove the V1 apps? Thanks Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Scherer Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Affinity V2 is/are separate from V1 and can be used side-by-side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy05 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 This can be answered pretty easily (and quickly): Yes. You can install and run V1 and V2 simultaneously without any issues.

Staff Lee_T Posted November 10, 2022 Staff Share Posted November 10, 2022 Hi, From our FAQ's on the website, https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/affinity-2-faq/ Do I need to have the same version of every app or can I still work on V1 of one app and V2 of another? You can have different versions of the apps, but please bear in mind you will be unable to open V2 files from one app in V1 of another app. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LATEMPEST Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 Thanks for all the replies, I do understand that V1 and V2 are different. A final question, can I save / export a V2 file as a V1 file that cna then be opened in V1? I know that some items / setup / functions will not translate, but a simple Designer file with realtively basic shapes and text, would that work? Or would exporting as an EPS file be a better option?

Staff Lee_T Posted November 10, 2022 Staff Share Posted November 10, 2022 If it helps, you can copy and paste between the apps (there may be some features not supported but this should work in most cases). Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
