Chroma Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I'm considering buying Affinity Publisher (Mac version), but there's a problem: I've just read (in one of the FAQs) that version 1 is no longer available for purchase, but when I read the tech specs for version 2 I see that there's a minimum of MacOS 10.15 Catalina , and I'm still using 10.13 (High Sierra). Does this mean I've "missed the boat" since I didn't purchase it back when MacOS 10.13 was still supported, or is there another option to get hold of a version of Publisher which does indeed work with MacOS 10.13? (Luckily, I've already got Affinity Photo and Designer which both work on my system). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 The Affinity V1 applications are no longer available for purchase, so you will not be able to purchase Publisher V1 from Apple nor from Serif.

Chroma Posted January 15, 2023 Author Share Posted January 15, 2023 Do I have any other option, or have I missed my opportunity completely? If someone from Serif Europe Ltd. is reading: can exceptions be made so that I can stil buy a copy of Affinity Publisher 1.x? Without going into details, there are several reasons why I'm sticking to MacOS 10.13 High Sierra, so upgrading to 10.15 or beyond isn't an option for me.

Yes it is an option, but you choose not to exercise that option. Given that, I think you're correct, you missed your opportunity.
