Costela Posted November 10, 2022 Posted November 10, 2022 Do V1 license holders get any discount on a new V2 license? Quote
GarryP Posted November 10, 2022 Posted November 10, 2022 Welcome to the forums @Costela They get the same 40% discount that is currently available to everyone. Quote
Steffen-123 Posted November 10, 2022 Posted November 10, 2022 Habe erst im Juni 2022 Publisher, Photo und Designer mit Aktionsrabatt gekauft. Jetzt soll ich mir wieder eine Vollversion kaufen? Wenn nun ein Jahr vergangen wäre, dann wäre es irgendwie OK. Irgendwann muss ja mal ein Update kommen. Aber jetzt habe ich die Software 5 Monate und soll neu bezahlen! Andere Kunden habe die Software 5 Jahre genutzt..... Aber Kunden die erst in 2022 eingestiegen sind, sollten das Update günstiger oder sogar kostenlos bekommen. Grüße Quote

Users that paid the same price as him got updates for the paid price. He didn't. It's not rocket science right? Quote

He bought Version 1, not Version 2. Version 1 has now come to the end of its development cycle. If he wants updates, then he'll need to buy the new version. My point was that there has to be a cut-off point: if you purchase software a long time after release, than you are gambling with that cut-off point. It's not rocket science: it's basic logic.

Okay, where is this basic logic stated? There was no hint as far as I know? There was never a hint that there will be a V2 anyhow? It would be silly to buy V1 a couple weeks ago, right? Quote

If there's a Version 1, then of course there will eventually be a Version 2. If there's only ever going to be one version, then no version number would be necessary. Version 2 has been talked about on the forums ever since Version 1 was released, and pretty soon people will start asking about Version 3. A modicum of common sense needs to be employed here.

Well, the version he bought already had all the updates that those of us who bought it years ago had to wait for! 3 minutes ago, ctekk said: There was no hint as far as I know?

I Serif have always made it clear that there would be free updates for v1, but that when the new version was released it would have to be paid for!

Grüße 5 months is a long time to expect a free upgrade but assuming you bought it directly from Serif, contact affinityorders@serif.com via email and explain your situation to them. Since you have purchased all 3 apps, they may be sympathetic to your particular situation and offer you a reduced universal license upgrade. Sometimes contacting a business's customer services department directly in this way works - sometimes it does not Just be nice in your email Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.
