Drew5190 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hello, I am an Affinity Designer user for both Mac and Windows and I love the software. However, I am looking into getting a Microsoft Surface Go which runs on Windows 10 S and I will only be able to run apps from the Microsoft Store on the tablet. I was wondering if it is at all possible to use my existing Windows product key to get the Microsoft Store version without paying another $49.99? Just trying to save some money here. Thanks, Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmrecs01 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Hi, welcome to the Affinity forums. If you have to use the MS Store to download and install your Affinity for Windows products previously purchased from the Affinity Store, unfortunately, you will need to purchase a new license. All the various "purchase-routes", Affinity Store, Mac App Store, Microsoft Store, have no "connection" with each other and so are not "interchangeable".
