Questions about Purchasing V2 Upgrade via Mac App Store


Recommended Posts

Helping my father-in-law with his desire to upgrade to V2 without losing V1. Is this possible?

He's currently running V1 on OS X High Sierra (not able to run V2), but want's to take advantage of the 40% discount by purchasing V2 Universal now in advance of his planned purchase of a new iMac in January.

He bought his V1 apps through the Mac App store.

If possible, how should he go about purchasing the V2 Universal license today through the Mac App Store without losing access to his V1 apps?

Why not buy them through the Affinity store and download them when you get the new iMac? You don't have to buy them through the Mac App Store.

@GRH Because the father-in-law and his wife want to take advantage of the "Family Sharing" license and the auto updates offered via the Mac App Store.

Well they can still download them from the Apple store, they won't run on High Sierra but that doesn't matter, and when you get the iMac you can re-download them. If you look for Truth42's comment in the reviews it will show you how to get the universal licence.

In case you can't find it I've screen-shotted it, file below.

It's my understanding that one cannot take advantage of "Family Sharing" for the Universal V2 license because the Mac App Store "Family Sharing" license does not apply to in-app purchases, and because the Affinity Universal V2 license is considered to be an in-app purchase if bought through the Mac App Store. 

What that means is that family members would have to log-in to the Mac App Store on all devices using just one family member's Apple ID. Not ideal.

Can anyone from Serif or the forum here say definitively whether or not one can by a Universal V2 license directly from Serif, and then be able to install on devices for up to 3-6 family members?

If so, what's the proper sequence of events?
