Product keys from Apple App Store

[VladM]

I have purchased Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo from the Apple App Store and the Affinity Publisher directly form the Affinity webstore. When downloaded the Publisher from Affinity webstore I can not see the Product keys for the products downloaded form Apple App Store (Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo). 
How can I add my Product keys to the Affinity store? Or the Publisher key to the Apple App Store?

Thanks,
Vlad

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, Vlad.

The Mac App Store (MAS) is run by Apple and the Affinity Store is run by Serif. Apple and Serif (quite rightly!) don’t share individual customer data, so there’s no way to transfer a licence from one account to the other.

MAS purchases are tied to your Apple ID, so there are no product keys.

It would be great if you could use your licence key to swap to the Mac App Store version but somehow I don't think that's possible (I have swapped from an App Store to downloadble product in the past, can't remember which app it was - possibly Fantastical but don't hold me to that - I had to prove I bought the app though).

I like being able to download all my apps when I get a new laptop (doesn't happen much these days!) or if something corrupts and I need to reinstall my OS again (I'm looking at you, Mohave…) but, to be honest, the price is so low and I expect to get so much use from Publisher, I'm actually quite happy to buy it twice.

Same experience as Vlad M. So if I purchased Designer and Photo in the App Store, this means that I do not get the unlimited installs of these apps that I would get if I purchased direct from Affinity?

I have three Macs - a MacBook Pro for when I'm out and about, an iMac in my office and a Mac Mini at home, all of which I've installed Publisher on without any problems;

I believe this is okay since there's only me using them (if only I was so productive I could work on all three at once!); however if there were three different people using them then that would be certainly a breach of the T&C's.

Again, I think Publisher (in fact the whole suite) is so competitively priced that I'd have no issue buying several copies if I had any employees - I remember when the only choice was QuarkXpress which was unbelievably expensive and then Adobe came along with the Creative suite, but that cost around (if I recall) over £800. And I thought it was a bargain!

I've said it before and I'll say it again - if I could invest in Affinity/Serif I would.

This is a serious game changer.

Sorry for reopening the subject, I bought Affinity Photo on Mac App Store, now that I have a windows laptop does it mean I have to buy it again?

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

It doesn't matter where you purchased for this situation. The applications are licensed based on the OS you intend to use them on. Use on any version of macOS requires a Mac license for the program, and use on Windows requires a Windows license for the program. So that's always two purchases for an individual using the products.
