Need to transfer Affinity photo from old PC to new PC

[matt_s]

Hello, 

I have Affinity Photo running on an old Windows 7 PC, and would like to install it onto my new Windows 10 PC. Can both computers have the program installed and running, or do I need to, somehow, transfer it to my new PC and delete it from the old one? I have read through a few other forums on a similar topic, and have found the answers to be ambiguous, and even somewhat conflicting.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, especially if this can be resolved.

Regards,

Matt

Hi matt_s,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
As long as you own/control both computers and are the only one using the software for commercial purposes, yes, you can have it installed in both computers.

Thank you MEB for your reply!

My follow-up question is, why is it that each time I try to install Affinity Photo on my newer PC (running Windows 10) the installation quits abruptly with the only message being "installation failed" without any other accompanying error message(s). It appears as if it can't even begin the installation (no progress bar of any kind, etc.)  The farthest it gets is the screen which asks to confirm the directory of the installation, which is then followed immediately (upon my clicking "OK") with the "Installation failed" message.

Any thoughts? Suggestions? I'm near the point of resetting my PC back to factory settings and starting fresh...

Thanks again.

Have you explored that location/folder manually? Is it for some reason writing protected  ?  Could you make a temporary/random try of installing it writting a different path, even directly under c:/  ?  (in case the write protection is from an above folder) . Is a shot in the dark, but I'd try it, maybe because in the moment when it is failing.

I am not a Windows user but from what I read in other topics about this issue, it could be that you are running a 32 bit version of Windows on your newer PC. The Windows Affinity apps require a 64 bit version of Windows.
