Bob Sellman Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 For many years I was a happy user of Serif PagePlus. I forget what the last update was (X10?), but after a while it wouldn't work on my updated Windows computer, so I've lost it. But I still have files created with it and would like to know if they can be loaded/imported into Affinity Publisher 2 and updated. By accident I just discovered Affinity Publisher and that it's apparently still from Serif. Bob Sellman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 If you had PagePlus you could export the files as PDF and open the PDF files in Publisher but Affinity cannot import the proprietary PagePlus files directly.

PaulEC Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 FWIW: The last version of PagePlus was X9, and it still works well on Windows 10. billah59 1 Quote Acer XC-895 : Core i5-10400 Hexa-core 2.90 GHz : 32GB RAM : Intel UHD Graphics 630 : Windows 10 Home Affinity Publisher 2 : Affinity Photo 2 : Affinity Designer 2 : (latest release versions) on desktop and iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Legacy Range Universal Registration Key Serif legacy customers no longer need to register their legacy software by phone or online. Any legacy software (PagePlus, WebPlus, DrawPlus, PhotoPlus etc) that requests a registration key can use this Universal Registration Key 881887 ..that's it, just type that and the registration dialog will go away.
