License Revoke

[TEcHNOpls]

Hi,

another license question, maybe this time someone will answer me

Is it possible to revoke a license from a PC (windows)? Say I want to sell a PC (or return it, or anything), and I don't want to reset/format it, but I have my AP/AD license on it, how can I do this?

Licenses are not tied to a particular machine, but to a particular email address.

In Windows, you could simply go to Settings, Apps, and Uninstall the Affinity applications.

You should also, of course, uninstall any other licensed software that you have on the machine.

But, if I uninstall and reinstall will it not see the license? (key/email pair)

Uninstallation should remove the licence info, but if you're concerned about it you can use regedit to drill down in the Windows registry and delete the keys at

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Serif\Affinity\Designer\1

and

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Serif\Affinity\Photo\1

if they are still present after uninstallation. Alternatively, you could delete the parent 'Photo' and 'Designer' keys, or even the 'Affinity' parent of those two.

Uninstall is enough to unregister the app, there is no more to do.

Thanks for the clarifications.
