MeadowheadT Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 I pre ordered Affinity Publisher for $35 un aware that it wouldn't allow me to download it from the Mac App Store, and after looking on the App Store it says that is costs $40. I am aware that I am able to get a refund in order to purchase it on the Mac App Store but I wanted to know If I would be refunded $40 in order do get it at the price on the App Store, or if I will only be refunded $35 (not that $5 is all that much in the grand scheme of things)?

Affinity wouldn't owe you an extra $5.00 back. That was a pre-order special price of 30% off for beta testers only. I believe the Mac App Store price was always going to be 20% off. Why not just download your pre-order from the Affinity Store? Same app. Quote 24" iMAC Apple M1 chip, 8-core CPU, 8-core GPU, 16 GB unified memory, 1 TB SSD storage, Ventura 13.6.7.

BigBadD Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Having a mix of apps between Affinity Store and Mac App Store may not be your preferred choice. But you benefit from the additional 10% beta user discount; and it is same app and the Studio Link feature fully works regardless of mix of different app store purchases. jmwellborn 1 Quote

Same app. I'm not that bothered, I was just interested. have it downloaded anyway. the only plus to having the App Store version is that you don't have to put in your activation key if you delete and re-download the app. studio link works either way and I can use the download from affinity on PC as well as mack if I need to which is a bonus. jmwellborn 1 Quote

No, the application license is OS-specific. Your purchase for Mac does not entitle you to use the program on Windows.
