Hello,

I can't see the option for Publisher trial?

Is it not available or i am missing something?

Thanks,

Jigar..

Hello @Jigar,

a trial version is anounced to be released but not available yet. I assume it won't take too much time.

I'm not sure there is a trial at the moment

Anyway, you are currently better off buying the official version at 20% off

If you don't like it you can return it for a full refund up to 14 days later

If you do like it you have benefitted by the 20% off deal which won't be repeated for a while

(PS I think that 20% off deal may end this week)

If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

The first slide in the Affinity Photo splash screen is currently advertising a free trial of Affinity Publisher. It just links to the Publisher page, where there is no mention of a trial. I guess they must be planning to release one but published the ad by accident!

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums :)

That is exactly what has happened. I'll hurry the trial (and it's button) along in the website.

Yes, please, ASAP, and please keep the discount in place long enough to get through a reasonable trial period. :-)

Actually, it is July 4th in the USA and the discount is still on.

Not as far as I can see.

I don't know what the price was before, so either the price isn't accurate on the Mac AppStore, or the "** Special Offer.. **" needs to be removed?

@MattP

The offer string still seems to be active in some locales. Can you do this before tomorrow morning?

@Dan Brooks

Is that a US$ price please?

Thanks Patrick

Mac, of course. ;-) ,

Try this: https://store.serif.com/update/macos/publisher/1

The current standard installer IS the trial installer. If you don't have a product key (which you get when you buy it) just press Start Trial

Apparently that is exactly what happened. It disappeared within a day or so and will return when the trial button appears on the website :-/

Ah. I was looking at the Affinity Store.

Discount price there was $39.99 as I recall. So yes, it looks like that "special offer" tag shouldn't be there :)

Much better. Folks here should be very happy to have access to the trial.

Note that the trial (if like the others) runs for 10 consecutive days from the time the program is first opened and the option "Start Trial" chosen (after it's installed).
