PintOfHarp Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Good afternoon, I need to transfer my license to a new laptop. How do I deregister the old and install on the new? Also, will it work with the latest Affinity Photo 2? Thank you in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff SFurniss Posted April 30, 2023 Staff Share Posted April 30, 2023 @PintOfHarp There is no need to de-register software in the way you suggest, your license will allow you to install on as many machines of the OS type you bought as you personally control. I assume you are referring to V1 licenses, if so, you can move all V1 work into V2, it's not backwards compatible though, so V2 files won't open in V1.

LeaS Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Hi there, I'm wanting to know the same thing but I'm not sure the answer here posted is correct. How do we transfer the old Affinity photo 1 app to the new computer please? Im not wanting to transfer the files from it. Just the app please. I thought this was what the above question was but the answer is about transferring V1 files to V2. Do I need a serial number to install onto my new computer please? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks For V1, you download the application from the Store where you originally purchased, and then install on the new computer. If you purchased from the Serif Affinity Store originally then you download from your account at https://affinity.store/account/downloads where, after signing in, you will find the download links and the email address and serial number you'll need when installing. If you purchased from the Microsoft Store or the Mac App Store you can find additional instructions in this FAQ. It's a little trickier for them, but should still be possible.

I ended up upgrading to V2 though as I had to do things in a hurry :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s a good upgrade! emmrecs01 1 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.4.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pke1 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Hi, I have a licence for the mac version but now don't have access to a mac computer. I now only use a windows laptop, am I entitled to a free download of the windows version as it is the only platform that I will be using going forward Thank you Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komatös Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 @Pke1 welcome to the forums. Singlel licenses can only be used on the platform (MacOS, iOS, Windows) for which they were purchased. Only the universal license has no platform restrictions.

Pke1 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Thank you for your reply, I'm disappointed as I would of thought that it would have been allowed as long as you only used one platform at any one time. Time to look at other software for me now. Paul emmrecs01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The purchase information for the individual version 2 programs clearly states: Start today with a Windows or Mac version for a one-off purchase price... I'm pretty sure this was also the case with version 1. So you have succumbed to your own misconception. emmrecs01 1 Quote AMD Ryzen 7 5700X | INTEL Arc A770 LE 16 GB | 32 GB DDR4 3200MHz | Windows 11 Pro 23H2 (22631.3296) AMD A10-9600P | dGPU R7 M340 (2 GB) | 8 GB DDR4 2133 MHz | Windows 10 Home 22H2 (1945.3803) Affinity Suite V 2.4 & Beta 2.(latest) Better translations with: https://www.deepl.com/translator Interested in a robust (selfhosted) PDF Solution?
