Can I use the same license on Mac and Windows?

[CrimsonLine]

Hi! I purchased Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo last month through the Mac App Store. Then I got a Wacom Cintiq Companion 1 tablet. I would like to put the Affinity programs on the tablet, which runs Windows 10. Can I use the same license, or will I have to purchase the programs again in Windows format?

 

Thanks!

Hi CrimsonLine,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Each platform requires its own license, so yes, you have to acquire them for Windows as well.

Thanks, MEB! Sad to hear it, but I appreciate the answer.

I have to say, Designer and Photo are phenomenal programs. I am really enjoying using them.

I have a related question. I've moved from Mac to Windows. Can I swap my Mac license (for Designer) for a Windows license? 

 

Thanks

No  I think it has to do with purchasing from the store's, i.e. you can't transfer a Microsoft licence to an apple licence, I'm sure MEB can explain better.

Hi knowles,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
No, sorry. It's not possible to swap licenses between platforms (no matter the store where you bought the app).

Thanks for the prompt reply.
