Hi Jef,

Yes, it is different. The Affinity Forum account and the Affinity Store account are NOT linked in any way. So if you are a Mac user and never bought the Windows versions of our apps in the Affinity Store neither the Affinity Designer Workbook, you don't have an account there yet.

A forum account is not an Affinity Store account, and you do not have an Affinity Store account (well not under the email address you have used on the forum)

Also your old Serif account is NOT an affinity store account, the databases are independent. You will only have an Affinity Store account if you have bought the Windows version of the Software or the Affinity Designer Workbook from our site.

 

So to claim your Free content simply make an account on the store as you claim your content.

 

This statement should be placed in first position of this thread - to clear most confusions about getting the Free-Stuff if a customer is a Mac User (as I am) who has bought your products via App Store ... and has got an account for the Affinity forum here (so do I).

you must reset the user in affinity then the welcome screen shows up

That should not normally be necessary for either Mac or Windows users. The circled item destructively resets any custom user settings to the defaults, & should be avoided if at all possible unless nothing else works.

It also would help if Mac users would quit referring to the "App Store" as if it is the only store. It is only 4 more keystrokes to type "Mac App Store" when that is what is being referred to, or the "MAS" abbreviation could be used instead.

You might be right - it's definitely not the only store for Apps ... but the program is called "App Store" - sorry that I used it's original name. And I have no clue where else I could have bought Affinity Photo and Designer. Anyway - I was pointing my post to all the other Mac users, who might are in the same position as me - confused and waiting for a password-reset-mail. Because there was no notification, that the Affinity store does not know my email-address when I requested to do so.

It is called that but unfortunately the confusion caused by Apple's fondness for using generic names for its apps (Photos, Preview, Contacts, & Notes are other examples) is a problem all Mac users must live with.  :(

Hi.

I have updated Affinity Designer to version 1.6 on a Mac OS X 10.8.5.

I do not have a firewall or antivirus. I have changed the language in preferences. I have deleted the application and reinstalled it.

My welcome page is the same as always. I do not see any link to the free content.

Thank you for all your effort.

ice2skull,

I'm not sure this will help (it's a shot in the dark), but are you running any add blocker or similar software on your browser? If so, can you please disable it and check if the Welcome Screen pages in Affinity were updated?

Hi MEB,

No add blocker or similar.

Also, I have problems with this version. If I use the tool to select color in the color tab, when changing to another program, AD generates an error and closes.

What version of Internet Explorer do you have installed please. The window inside the application draws through an IE window that may need to be higher than you have.
