quinnballard Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Hi, I have attempted several times to open the 10-day trial for Affinity Photo, but I keep getting a popup that says the trial has expired. I was a beta tester for Affinity Photo a year or so ago (or whenever the first betas were released), but I haven't actually used the official release and wanted to try it out before I purchased it. Do you have any suggestions/things I can troubleshoot? Not sure if there is a file from the beta still on the computer that is keeping the trial from working. Thanks!

Staff Callum Posted June 16, 2016 Staff Share Posted June 16, 2016 Hi Quinn, The only time you can get this error message is if you have had the trial before and there isn't any way for us to reset the timer I'm afraid.

quinnballard Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Cool, thanks for the reply. Yeah, I'm not sure how I have installed the trial before unless I mistakenly thought it was a beta update? It has been a while since I used Affinity and am not totally sure what I might have done. I do understand what you're saying though, I'm just stumped. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quinnballard Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 Hey, Callum – you are right! I guess the trial was installed and I had forgotten I did it since I never ended up using Affinity to test out. I investigated on some of the plist/misc. files on Finder and they do show an Affinity Trial install in 2015, explaining how the timer has run out haha. Is there a way to reinstall the Trial? I am hoping to use it primarily for panoramas, but I wanted to test it out before I dropped $50 on a program that turned out to be just as good on handling panos as Photoshop, since I already have photoshop. I def know that Affinity is way superior to a lot of Photoshop's features, but those aren't the features I am going to be using 99% of the time! I checked out several of the pano tutorials on the Affinity Vimeo page but I'm still not sure if it will be worth the purchase. Any thoughts or suggestions would be great. I appreciate your help!

Staff MEB Posted June 20, 2016 Staff Share Posted June 20, 2016 Hi Quinn, The trial should be reset again for version 1.5 so everyone can try the new features however it may still take a couple months until its released on the Mac App Store and as a Trial.

quinnballard Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 Cool, that sounds great. I appreciate your help! Affinity seems like such a great program – I'll def keep an eye out for v1.5. Have a good day, man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
