In other words, since V2 was released, you can only purchase new licences for the V2 applications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Wow! how to cut away a portion of your market and alienate its users. I'll assume you have a 2011 mac. There are ways to get Catalina onto an unsupported Mac using a patcher: https://dosdude1.com/catalina/ if you are good at technical IT its possible but a better option would be to look at buying a 2012/13 mac these will take OS X Catalina then you can get V2 and sell the old mac. loukash 1 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

One should think that if the v1 were still available, Serif would gain from the sales and have those users upgrade hardware and upgrade the affinity's in due time. Most likely they wanted only new sales for the universal license as that would create more revenue. More likely, they don't want to be accused of selling a product they won't be fully supporting, since they'll never be fixing most reported bugs; just ones that prevent operation due to OS changes.

As long as that is stated at point of sale, i.e. Caveat Emptor (let the buyer beware), I cannot see the problem.

An elegant solution would have been a minor update to v1 so that it would also accept the v2 license, particularly as part of the Universal License. Like that, users still would be able to download v1 from the Serif Store and run that instead of v2 if they don't have a compatible computer. That said, there still would have been a limit since e.g. El Capitan never supported the My Account feature. But on MacOS Sierra and above it might have worked.

Congratulations. When you had the opportunity to try V2 for free you would have found out there was nothing that you wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
