Staff MattP Posted July 12, 2016 Staff Share Posted July 12, 2016 Each build of the beta has its own 'drop-dead date' built in that it will never run past. There will always be another beta build way before the current build's expiry date so that should not be a concern. When the software is ready for release, the Beta builds will cease to function around that date as you will be able to just buy the released software if you are happy with it. The release date will obviously be preceded by a couple of weeks of builds with a 'release candidate' status, rather than beta status. Hope this answers your question :) Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 12, 2016 Staff Share Posted July 12, 2016 Hello jorgedorlando, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Affinity Designer is available as a public Beta, not as a trial. A trial version uses the same code as the commercial (final) version. Currently Affinity Designer is still in Beta, which means is still in development. We have made it public as such so it can be tested in various computer configs to help discover and fix any problems/issues that may arise. It's also a way for users try/experiment the program and its funcionality and give us feedback while it's still being developed if they are willing to do so. You can download and install the Beta for free until the final (commercial) version is released in a couple months (there's no ETA for this). After that you will have to purchase a license to continue using the software. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Cope Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 The beta will last until the full 1.5 version is available. 1.5 will come as a trial version - 30 days I believe - if you don't buy straight away.

Staff MEB Posted July 12, 2016 Staff Share Posted July 12, 2016 Hi Ken, I believe the trial will have the same time limit as the Mac version (10 days). A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Cope Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Hi Ken, I believe the trial will have the same time limit as the Mac version (10 days). Okay, thanks. I wonder why I thought it was 30? Perhaps I was thinking of some other software.
