ggeorgis Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Hi, how is it possible to update Affinity Photo for Mac when bought directly from the Affinity store? In my account there is no link to download the current version and there is no pop-up or menu entry to do it from within the app. The install the trial version and hope it asks for key does not work either (it just quits because it expired and directs me to the Mac App Store). I am now on 1.5.2 version although my order was placed today!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted January 5, 2018 Staff Share Posted January 5, 2018 Hi ggeorgis, Welcome to Affinity Forums We don't sell the Mac version directly through the Affinity Store. It can only be purchased from the Mac App Store. Did you get it through the X-Rite promo? Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggeorgis Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Thanks, MEB Yes you are correct....but still I need to be able to update the software somehow. Although what puzzles me is why I received such an outdated link instead of a current one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
000 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I had the same issue a couple of days ago, the most recent update just didn't show up on the AppStore Updates page. I logged out of the AppStore, re-started the computer, opened AppStore, logged back in and the update appeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggeorgis Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Unfortunately this is not possible in my case since the purchase was not made on the Mac App store but on the Affinity store itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 It seems that it's just a question of waiting patiently until the Mac build of version 1.6 becomes available via the Affinity Store.

ggeorgis Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Thanks Alfred, for digging up the relevant thread...seems like I'm not the only one...lets hope that we also get the freebies that came with the launch of 1.6 version as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
