Affinity Suite no longer for sale...Is this the end?

I have no idea....probably.....like I typed..... they don't know!

It says 1.10.8……so that’s the version.
Also if you ‘get info’ in finder it should show you.

I think I upgraded to V2 (meaning bought it again on the App Store… 🤪) when there where issues with ‘recent files’ not showing, and some other issues.

A lifetime license is worthless when the app itself becomes an online service.

Its worthless once a company stops supporting it. You can use it as long as an OS upgrade doesn't break the app, or there's features that you need that are in the newer version.

I think people view the lifetime license with an attitude of 100% patching forever and I don't think that will ever happen. 1Password did that, i.e., no longer patching the old version. People were pissed, but I can see the logic from the company side.

This is very true… 👍
My cMP is stuck in time on Mojave (not interested in OC), so all perpetual software on it should keep working forever…😁

It's just 'fancy' naming for what used to be a regular old license like everybody used to offer. I think they didn't call it that in the Affinity V1 days either, it seems like something coined to separate it from subscriptions.

I guess I have an Adobe CS lifetime license too, come to think of it. Trying to make use of it however requires running a museum piece.
