swiftini Posted January 27 Posted January 27 I have 2 machines - I already have affinity on my Mac. Is there any way I can use it on my Wondows machine? It looks like the Downloads I have in my account are IOS only. Quote

It's possible only with the universal licence. Single licences are OS specific and they can't transfered between IOS, MacOS or Windows.

swiftini Posted January 27 Author Posted January 27 Thanks so much - where do I buy a Universal license - also if I upgrade to V2 of the suite is that a universal license? Quote
swiftini Posted January 27 Author Posted January 27 also It looks like I already have a universal license - where do I find the download for PC? Quote

Your screenshot shows that you purchased Affinity Publisher V1 (Version 1.10.8) To my knowledge there was never a universal license offered for V1, so I am not sure what the "DMG (Universal)" refers to.

markw Posted January 27 Posted January 27 I think that the word ‘Universal’ shown in the screenshot next to the DMG indicates that it is a Universal Binary, i.e. will run on both Intel and Apple Silicone Macs. It dose not indicate the type of license.

Silicon is a chemical element; a silicone is a polymer, a compound which in this case is typically an oil or a rubbery substance. markw 1 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.5.1 (iPad 7th gen)

The screenshot in your later post shows that the operating system in question is macOS, not iOS. The former is used on iMacs and MacBooks, the latter is used for smaller portable devices such as iPhones; recent versions of iOS for iPad are named ‘iPadOS’.

If you purchase V2, you have a choice of purchasing a license just for macOS, or just for Windows, or just for iPadOS, or of purchasing a Universal license that will let you use the V2 applications on any of the 3 OSes that are supported. V1 was licensed differently, and required separate purchases for each OS.
