Tom Nequette Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Once again I am experiencing the "Must buy the retail version" prior to installing the latest Beta version. Last week the App Store sent me a message to upgrade Affinity to v1.4. I had already done this manually when it first came out and was able to add the Beta version without a problem. The App Store notice continued to appear so I just let it download and replace what I had. After that the Beta would not load. I have exhausted my efforts to cure this; I erased both programs, cleaned the Trash, did a full shutdown, reinstalled the App Store v1.4 and redownloaded the Beta. Still won't load or open. I enjoy using the Beta version and would appreciate a solution. Thanks. Tom Nequette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted January 27, 2016 Staff Share Posted January 27, 2016 The beta is the same build to what is currently available from the Mac App Store. New betas will be released soon for you to download and install. Regards L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted January 27, 2016 Staff Share Posted January 27, 2016 Hi Tom Nequette,The Beta becomes obsolete as soon as the corresponding Mac App Store version is released and so it's not recognised anymore.The current Mac App Store version (1.4.1) is the most up to date version available. As Lee D said the next Beta will recognise the the MAS version and will run as usual. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Nequette Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Are you telling me that the v1.4 update download from the App Store last week incorporates the Beta changes as of that date? And, as I have not seen a new Beta in the last week or so, I am completely up to date until Beta 1.4.1-Beta 5 is released? If so, I am at peace.

Staff MEB Posted January 27, 2016 Staff Share Posted January 27, 2016 Hi Tom, Affinity Photo 1.4.1 (from the App Store) is the most up to date version available. All improvements and bug fixes introduced in the Betas up to 1.4.1 beta 4 were included in the last week's update. You can safely move the Beta to the trash if you want. The next Beta cycle will be probably called 1.5 beta 1 if there's no more critical fixes needed to the Mac App Store version.
