Problem updating Version 2 of all apps on iPad


Recommended Posts

I apologise if this is posted to the wrong area of the forums, but I think it "best fits" here!  The threads where new releases are announced didn't quite seem the correct place to post!

I have a Version 2 Universal Licence with all three apps installed and activated on Windows 10 PC and iPad, running iOS 16.1.1.  I have no problem updating the Windows versions but the iPad versions do not update (latest releases, I believe, should be version 2.0.2).  I've checked via the iPad App Store but nothing shows there, presumably because, having been a beta tester, my Universal Licence was used to activate the previously-installed beta release versions.  IOW, the App Store does not actually know I own the version 2 releases, I assume?  My installed versions are currently 2.0.0.1636 for Publisher, 2.0.1.2 for Designer and 2.0.1.307 for Photo.

I've seen the suggested method of opening the App Store, going to Account, then Updates but nothing is showing for me.  I realise it can take some time for Updates to actually be downloadable but I believe these latest ones were released some days ago now.

Any advice/ideas/suggestions very gratefully received!

This thread can be closed/ignored but I will leave it here in case anyone else meets this problem!

A little bit of lateral thinking, and I went to the iPad AppStore and downloaded and installed the three apps. I had wondered whether it might be necessary to first deactivate my device before uninstalling the prior installs but clearly not; everything is fully functional, all downloaded content and files still present.

And all 3 apps are now at version 2.0.2!
