![]() ![]() It was, as is, a very good way of publishing personal documents, posters, leaflets, but nothing comparable to s professional publisher, with detailed control on typography and color, and management of long documents. What could the older Pages do that is not possible in the current version? I find several things that are now possible, and weren't in the past, but can't remember the missing features.Īs far as I remember, Pages has never been a replacement of something like InDesign - that is the real target of Publisher. Crogi, I want to add that you have been very helpful and kind in trying to accomplish what many other companies would not. I believe it would help people in my same situation. I would really appreciate if Affinity would put V1 back up for sale even with limited support. Or, if they don't want to deal with that, they could simply put v1 back up for sale at a reduced price, with suitable warnings that it's a version with limited support. Serif could just say they allow unused v1 licenses to be applied to someone else's downrev system and leave it at that. ![]() So it's not really requiring any more honesty on the part of the user base. On the other hand, with respect to that latter concern, Serif already relies on the goodwill of users not to sell/transfer v1 licenses. So allowing such license transfers might in fact cannibalize some v2 revenue for dishonest users. The problems: Unless Serif does some work, there will still be the problem of product keys being tied to the original purchaser's email address, and unless Serif makes changes somehow, they won't be able to enforce the OS restriction. ![]() The benefits of that are: People like to use Affinity products, Serif doesn't lose revenue due to transferred licenses cannibalizing v2 revenue for these old systems, and Serif doesn't have to make any changes to their store or executables. In other words, a user running an older version of Windows 10 or MacOS could activate a v1 license on their system, which they get from some other user who no longer needs v1. One idea I had was for Serif to make an exception to their v1 license agreement such that v1 licenses are transferable to systems which are running an OS that v2 doesn't support. ![]()
