homeyJay Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I sold my Windows laptop yesterday and re-initialised it to factory settings before the sale but I totally forgot to uninstall the Affinity V2 apps before I did the reset. Does this mean that I’ve lost one install on my purchase? The reset option in windows said that all apps and data would be removed and Windows would be re-installed but I remember seeing something in the initial screen about uninstalling the licences or something in the new V2 apps and I feel that I was supposed to do that first..

Mark Ingram Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 No problem. You can reinstall on the same machine again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeyJay Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 Errr.. that’s the problem. The machine’s been sold and the disk’s been wiped before sale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order to activate the apps, one has to login (depending on where you bought the apps, e. g. app store/Affinity account). So no worries, whoever bought your laptop should not be able to do that. Even if he'd install them, they'd run as trial versions only. Quote »A designer's job is to improve the general quality of life.

homeyJay Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 Ok, I’m not worried that he’ll be able to use them - the drive was wiped and Windows re-installed! All I was worried about was that because I’d not de-registered the apps first and then uninstalled them, somehow my install count (if Affinity maintains such data) would not have be debited by one. Probably an unnecessary worry but, hey, that’s me! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
