Arceom Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 So, v1 will no longer be supported and it seems v2 completely replaces it; so, can I give my existing v1 licenses to someone else while I move my work to v2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 No. The Licence Agreement https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/licence/ states: “3. The Licence granted to you is limited, non-transferable and non-exclusive.” and “4… you have no right to rent, lend, lease, sell, supply, transfer or distribute, transfer, redistribute or sublicense the Serif Software.” Arceom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arceom Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 So, I'm expected to just let that perfectly usable software license get all dusty and rusted? doesn't make much sense, specially when previous customers are treated exactly like new customers.

Vosje Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 You can keep using it if you don't want it to rust. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use it or not, but you cannot legally violate the licensing terms that were in effect when you bought it! jmwellborn 1 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.5.5 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 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...
albertkinng Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) Answering completely honest, Yes and No. Yes: if you are installing it on your daughter (or Spouse) laptop that is registered on your name. Even if you want your brother to have it, you need to be sure it is on a laptop that "belongs" to you. In my case, for example, Every device in my household, Wife, Daughter, etc. is under my same account. Legally, they're all mine. No: If you want to sell it on eBay, give it away to a friend or maybe a family member that owns the machine. In that case, you can't.

In that case, you can't. Technically correct, because you'd have to drag Serif to court to actively assist you with transferring the license. But software purchased within the EU can be sold regardless what the EULA says. Latter renders invalid in this point since The Court of Justice of the European Union has ruled that publishers cannot stop you from reselling apps or digital licenses for them. myclay, krbo and albertkinng 3 Quote »A designer's job is to improve the general quality of life.

Why don't you give V2 to someone, that is een real present! albertkinng 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
