I am thinking of buying Affinity Photo.

My wife and I both use Photoshop at the moment.

Can my wife also install and use my copy of Affinity Photo on her Mac, using the same licence?

Were are both retired and there is no commercial use involved.

Hi Kogios5,

 

Welcome to the forums

 

Your wife can use your copy using Apple Family Sharing you can find out more about it below!

Thanks Callum

I'm researching this now as it sounds like it's just what we need.

I haven't used Family sharing before and am going though the motions to ensure there are no pitfalls in us using it.

I'm not a geek but open to trying most new things.

Your advise is much appreciated and I will let you know how I make out.

Best regards

Kogios5

FWIW, both my wife & I are retired. Each of us have an iMac & an iPhone. We have used use Family Sharing for years & have never discovered any pitfalls or any other reasons to regret using it. I use my Apple ID & she uses hers. Each of us has access to all the apps either of us has purchased that allow Family Sharing (some do not), to songs either of us have purchased, & so on. We don't use iCloud storage or any of the other Apple cloud-based services except for a shared album in Apple's Photos.app.

Got it all installed and working satisfactory. 

Using it only for purchases at moment.

Have now moved off Lightroom and Photoshop. Whoopee no monthly payments.

My wife and I are happy "retirees" also and like you I don't use iCloud.

Thanks again for your help. It is much appreciated.
