Single licence for home and workplace?

[tomekf248]

Hello,

 

I own both Affinity products and absolutely love them. I recently got a new job and that raised a question about licencing, which I can't figure out from the EULA.

 

Can I use my personal licence at my workplace or does my employer have to buy a seperate licence for me to use at a company computer?

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @tomekf248.

 

My understanding is that a company computer is considered to be ultimately controlled by your employer, even if you control it on a day-to-day basis, so although your personal licence covers you for any computer that you “own or control” your employer would have to buy a separate licence in a case like this. No doubt a member of Serif staff will be able to confirm or refute my interpretation.

Hi tomekf248,

 

As @Alfred has explained, your employer would need to purchase Affinity so you could use it on the work PC.

Thanks guys, my boss has already said he will buy the licence.

Hi, 

I would like for Affinity team to clarify the following " although your personal licence covers you for any computer that you “own or control” - is this correct? I generally use my desktop buy i would like to practice a little over the holidays. can i install Affinity Designer on my laptop? 

Both my desktop and laptop have windows 10. 

If not, can i still use the trial and save assets which i can send to my desktop when i return from holidays? 

I would really appreciate a quick response, busy packing now - i should have asked sooner but im forgetful. 

much appreciated

I'm not a Serif employee, but as I'm not sure how quickly one of them will respond: Yes, if you own both computers you can install your copy of the Affinity application on both of them, as long as they're the same OS (both Windows, or both MacOS).
