Derkaziam Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 If I buy Affinity Designer through the Microsoft Store is there any way I can get it on MacOS as well, without buying it directly from Affinity or buying it again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmrecs01 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 @Derkaziam Welcome to the Affinity forums. If you buy a licence for Designer at the MS store the licence is for Windows only. If you also want it on a Mac, that would require the purchase of a second, Mac-specific licence. However, have you checked out the Universal License? It includes all 3 apps on all 3 operating systems, Windows, Mac and iPad. It’s currently available with a 40% discount until December 14th.

But even if you purchased a Designer license from Serif directly, you would have to choose Windows, macOS, or iPad. And it would work only on that OS. If you want a license that covers more than one OS you must buy the Universal License, which will cover all 3 OSes and all 3 applications. You can buy that license at the Affinity Store, or as an in-app purchase no matter where you downloaded a Trial version of the app. So, you could download a Trial of Designer from the Microsoft Store, and purchase a Universal License from within the app, allowing you to run all the apps on all 3 OSes.
