I have Affinity Designer 2 on my work PC. I downloaded Affinity Designer 2 on my MacBook today. And I have a license with Affinity Designer 2, but every time I try to activate it, it won't go through on my MacBook app. What's the issue?

Hi @elizavpro,

Welcome to the Affinity Forums :)

Unfortunately I'm unable to find an Affinity ID using the email address for your Affinity Forum account, so we're unable to verify your license status here.

Can you please email affinitysupport@serif.com with the Affinity ID you have used to sign into Affinity Designer 2, so that we can investigate this further for you?

Many thanks in advance!

As I understand it, the 'unsuccessful' message implies that the OP just bought a license for the Windows version of AD V2, so if the purchase was not for the Universal license, it would be necessary to purchase a second license for the Mac version.

They have aggressive licensing to either buy the universal license for 120 or 160 respectively or buy AD for mac and windows for 140. DXO is not like that; the nik collection works for windows and mac.

I'm not sure what you mean by "respectively" but to clarify a bit individual per app prices (in US dollars) are $70 each & the Universal one is $165. So if the OP already has just the individual license for AD for Windows, it would cost $70 to get the Mac version or $165 to get a license for all 9 V2 apps (3 each for Windows, Mac & iPad).

??? The issue is what license(s) the OP bought for V2. I don't understand what V1 has to do with it, since IFAIK there is no longer any special 'upgrade' pricing for V1 users.

Except for the 25% discount on the V2 Universal license if you previously registered a V1 purchase of any of the Affinity apps.
