Redsandro Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Hi there, I would like to request that Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer can silently install without asking for email/product key. Then the email/product key will be asked on first launch. I would probably have payed 200% of the price for a Linux version. But since Serif decided not to go that way, I'm using a virtual machine with Windows. The Windows evaluation reboots every 2 hours and expires after a month. I can automate the provisioning for rebuilding the VM for most things, but not for Affinity products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Reeder Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 To be fair, your individual circumstances probably aren't representative of most Affinity customers - hard to imagine then, that the developers would wish to make this request a priority.

Or - you could just use an operating system the software is designed to run on... Quote Keith Reeder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very customary. A silent mode for installation is so common that they probably had to remove it rather than not implement it. In university we set up a lot of commercial software this way. It's called provisioning. You've probably never heard of it. Or - you could just use an operating system the software is designed to run on... I can do this? Wow, I wish someone had told me sooner! Thanks for the pedantic suggestion. :wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
