voitek Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Will 2.0 versions of the Affinity software be released as updates for people who already own a licence or we'll have to buy it again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falaffel Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Hy, I think you have to buy Version 2 as an upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Patrick Connor Posted December 10, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 10, 2016 At our prices I'm not sure how much of an "upgrade" offer we should be doing... but yes all updates and new features for version 1 are free and version 2 is a new opportunity to buy and support Serif.

Alfred Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Updates to version 1.x are free if you own a 1.x licence. Although we will have to pay if we want to upgrade to 2.x, we won't be forced to buy it: purchase of new versions will support further development, but your existing version will continue to work indefinitely.

That's what I wanted to know but how often do you plan to release new versions? Annually? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 We aim to release several upgrades a year. The exact number varies. Designer has had 5 major updates in the two years since it was released, which is a cadence I think we're happy with. Those were all free, and at the moment a paid-for 2.0 still seems a long way away. abszar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
