Komatös Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Hi @Affinity_taro and welcome to the forums. You don't need to deactivate a licence. You can install the Affinity programs on as many PCs/laptops that you manage privately.

walt.farrell Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 That's a V1 FAQ, and in any case it's easier with V2: Start a V2 application with the Ctrl key pressed, to get the Clear User Data dialog. Select the option to Deactivate your license. It will be near the bottom of the list. Click Reset.

Affinity_taro Posted September 2 Author Share Posted September 2 (edited) Thank you everyone for your replies. When acquiring licenses, I will be careful not to exceed the number of licenses. It would be convenient if you could log in to the Affinity user page and obtain or cancel the license from the PC where it is installed, but unfortunately there does not seem to be such a mechanism. @walt.farrell Thank you for the license cancellation procedure.

As long as you are the only person using them, you can install the apps on every PC that you own or control.
