Moving Affinity License from One Laptop to Another


Recommended Posts

My Control Key has either gone bad or gotten a virus. The laptop is fairly old, so I'd be replacing it anyway. Affinity currently is on a Windows 7 laptop. I need to find another Windows 7 unit, which will take some time, but then want to move Affinity to it. Actually, Affinity uses/relies on the Control key more than any other program I use.

 

So if anyone can tell me how to move a downloaded program from one laptop to another, I'd appreciate knowing. Is it just writing to Affinity and asking them to cancel access from the current?

 

Thank you.

You do not have to move the licence, you can install the program onto any (same OS) computer you own or control

just do what you did to install it previously, when you get your new Laptop.

It does not have to be removed / transferred from the old Laptop first 

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

Do keys catch viruses? Thinking about it, I suppose the keyboard handler could become infected, which would amount to the same thing.

Do you have programs that will only run on Windows 7, or are you just wary of switching to Windows 10?

You can't write to Affinity: it's a suite of programs. The company is Serif (Europe) Ltd.
