Multi How Do We Get Affinity Store (Windows) Updates

Apparently he is trying to capitalise on the name/success of known apps. It's doing the same with "his" Halide photo editor...

Isn't the logo copyrighted? In that case he could be forced to stop using it.

He's not using the official Affinity Photo logo, though. He's using one that is visually similar, but if you look at both of them at the same time they are definitely different.

Thanks for bringing the Affinity apps to the Microsoft Store, guys! A great step for the Windows platform, Affinity and users who don't have to bother using serials and manual updating

He's not using the logo for the desktop versions. He's using the one for Affinity Photo for iPad.

 

He's also using the Affinity name.

I bought Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo for Windows through the Affinity website when they were launched. Is it possible to transfer these two licenses to Microsoft Store?

 

@MEB Do you know this?

Thanks for the clarification/correction, Alfred.

However it should be possible to transfer the license from Serif's database to Microsoft Store without them sharing any data. If Serif would send a code to the user that will remove the cost when adding the application to the Microsoft account.

But like Apple, Microsoft takes a cut of the revenue generated from apps sold through its store (30% for non-subscription app sales). It also collects any applicable taxes for those sales. (See the "Store Fees" subsection or the "App Pricing, Payments, Transactions And Taxes" section of the App Developer Agreement.)

 

Somehow, I doubt Microsoft would be very keen on the idea of forfeiting that revenue through some code Serif generates that allows users to add the app to their Microsoft store account. For that matter, I am not sure how such a code could be implemented without Serif & Microsoft sharing at least some user data for anti-piracy reasons.

Good evening, I bought Affinity Photo through the Windows Store and needed help. I would like to link Affinity and Lightroom, but I can not find the .exe file so I can follow these instructions video Where would I find this file when I did not install through the https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/ Thank you
