nininho Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Hello, I've used the search function, but found nothing about: how long is the license valid when Photo or Designer get updates? F.e. is it possible to update with the same license from 1.5 to 2.0? Or is there a document which provides detailed information about? Thank you in advance.

Staff Callum Posted December 8, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 8, 2016 Hi Nininho, Welcome to the Forums :) You will get all updates for features currently on our RoadMap for free. Once the RoadMap is complete however you will have the option to purchase again for future updates or keep the version you have. You can view the RoadMaps below! https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/842-affinity-designer-feature-roadmap/ https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/10075-affinity-photo-feature-roadmap/ Thanks C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

sirtet Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I have the same Question, and the Links are not valid anymore... Also, is there any info on roughly how often new roadmaps will come out? Do new roadmaps correlate to new major releases? currently 1.8, so i mean 2.0 by major... or has affinity a different scheme? What i want to know is an estimate for how long a license will get me the latest version. The answer "after the end of the roadmap" seems not to be a time- answer... unless the roadmap has dates in it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Serif no longer provides a public roadmap for any of the Affinity applications, @sirtet. Updates are free until version 2 becomes available. Thus, if you purchase right now you get a license for all of version 1.x, currently version 1.8.3. We know that 1.8.4 is coming, as it is in beta now. Further, Serif have revealed some content that they plan to have in 1.9. All of those would be free updates for anyone with a version 1.x license. But we do not know what happens between 1.8.4 and 1.9. There could be a 1.8.5, for example. Nor do we know what follows 1.9, There could be 1.9.1, 1.9.2, or even 1.10, 1.11. All of those would also be free updates. Or, perhaps, after 1.9 we will see 2.0. Whenever it happens, Serif have said that 2.0 will require a new purchase if you want to use it. But the last 1.x release should keep working, if you don't want to buy a license for 2.0.

sirtet Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Thanks. So, is this stated somewhere by affinity, that licenses are for mayor versions only? Also, i wonder if they have a reduced upgrade-price and what it is, or if that's the full price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is certainly stated in the forums. Whether it's stated anywhere in the Store I do not know. 26 minutes ago, sirtet said: Also, i wonder if they have a reduced upgrade-price and what it is, or if that's the full price. There is only 1 version right now, and no one knows when version 2 will become available, nor anything about its price nor its features.
