johnnyo Posted October 19, 2023 Posted October 19, 2023 Does Serif offer student pricing? My kids are 15 and 14 and would like use Affinity Photo now that their school supplied license of Photoshop expired. Quote

PaulEC Posted October 19, 2023 Posted October 19, 2023 If they each have their own PC, and assuming that you “control” their computers, you only need to buy one licence to install it on both of them, which at least helps keep the cost down.

johnnyo Posted October 19, 2023 Author Posted October 19, 2023 Oh that's interesting. So I can buy the license under my name and install it on both of my kids' computers? Can you elaborate on what it means to "control" their computers? I bought their computers and while I control them in the sense that I can take them away anytime and I have WiFi restrictions on them, they use their own Apple accounts to sign in to their MacBooks.

Well they are only 14/15, but if they are going to make money from selling their stuff they can buy their own licences! 😉 walt.farrell 1 Quote Acer XC-895 : Core i5-10400 Hexa-core 2.90 GHz : 32GB RAM : Intel UHD Graphics 630 – Windows 11 Home - Affinity Publisher, Photo & Designer, v2 (As I am a Windows user, any answers/comments I contribute may not apply to Mac or iPad.)

I would have thought that if you bought them and can take them off the kids if you wish, that’s “controlling” them. As I understand it, if you buy a licence they would both need to log into your Affinity account, using your email etc, to install the software. If you/they want to purchase from the Apple/Mac store, rather than from Affinity, I think you would need to buy separate licences, but I’m not really sure, as I always purchase direct from Affinity.

johnnyo Posted October 20, 2023 Author Posted October 20, 2023 @PaulEC great, thank you! And no, they won't be selling their stuff, LOL. It's mostly for school projects and they sometimes like to play jokes on their friends by editing their pictures 😉 Quote
