V2 upgrade offer:

Upgrading is completely optional and, if you wish, you can continue to use the original apps for as long as you like. While V1 will no longer receive any feature updates, we will endeavor to fix any critical issues which may be caused by operating system updates for as long as it’s reasonable to do so.

Yes! We offer 6-month free trials of all the apps, as well as the Universal License so you can try them all together to experience the full power of Affinity.

Unfortunately, due to complications with our apps being available on the Microsoft and Apple App Stores, we can only offer upgrade pricing on the Universal License at this time. Also, this offer is only available from us directly – you cannot claim this upgrade discount via the App Stores.

The Universal License gives you the entire V2 suite of apps on all platforms for just one payment – that’s Affinity Designer 2, Affinity Photo 2 and Affinity Publisher 2 for Mac, Windows and iPad.

As a private individual you can install Affinity apps on as many devices as you own which run the operating system you have purchased a license for (of course in the case of a Universal License that means you can install on any iPads, Macs or Windows PCs you own). Other people (for example, members of your household) are also allowed to use the apps on those devices. However, only you are allowed to use the apps for commercial use—if any members of your household need to make commercial use of the apps as well they will need to purchase their own license.

For commercial enterprises, education and other multi-user situations, each license can either be assigned to an individual or a device. For example, one Windows license could be used by a single employee on both their Windows desktop and laptop computer. Alternatively, that license could be assigned to a single Windows computer which is used serially by multiple employees.

Please note, assigning of licenses is a manual process. You will need to keep track of which users or machines are using your license details to make sure you don’t exceed the number of licenses specified in your license agreement.

You can give out the license details to the required users or you can contact your account manager and ask for an affinity2.defaults file.

For more information please see our Windows, macOS or iPad license agreements.

Yes! If you purchase V2, you’ll not only get access to the tons of new features and enhancements available now, but you’ll continue to receive free updates until such a time that V3 is launched.

Yes! You can easily transfer your existing content (including any content you may have purchased from the Affinity Store) and open all your V1 docs in V2. As you would expect, V1 will not be able to open V2 documents, so this is something to consider if you collaborate on files with other people/your team (i.e. just get everyone to upgrade to V2!).

Absolutely. This add-on bundle is free to anyone who has upgraded/decides to upgrade from V1 to V2 at any time. Claim yours now.

The Creative Collection add-on bundle can only be claimed by customers who previously owned V1 and subsequently upgraded to V2. If you’re interested in purchasing add-ons, check out our incredible range of options in the Affinity Store.
