Moving Affinity Designer and Photo to a another computer


Recommended Posts

  • Staff

Hi Orangy,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

Just install them on your new computer as you did for the old one. You can leave the software installed on your old computer assuming you are the only user using it. For more details about licensing please check this page (Digital orders | How many computers can I install a digital product on?).

What about transferring styles, brushes, assets (I had a lot of those) and other similar items.

Officially, you can export them from their respective studio panels to .afstyles, .afbrushes, and .afassets files and then import them on the other computer. 

Unofficially you can copy the internal files from the user folder on one computer to the other one. The FAQ tells you where they're located.
