The Affinity site has always been dedicated to the Affinity apps. Any legacy downloads that you’ve found will have come from the old CommunityPlus support site.

It was Softtonic's "starter edition" download that wanted the registration key, and wouldn't complete the installation without it. But annoyingly, when I went back to try again with your code, the download produced a single file that wouldn't open.

Welcome, Anthony! Thanks for joining my merry little band.

There is, perhaps unsurprisingly, only one Universal Registration Key, since by definition that’s all we need. Choose the ‘Registration Wizard’ option from the Help menu within any of the legacy ‘Plus’ applications and enter

881887

in the box to protect yourself against ever being nagged to go through the useless registration procedure.

Many years ago I lost my PC and had to manage for a while with a kluge knocked together from the IT shop's junk shelf, and among the many things it didn't have was word processing software. So I found a disk for the original PagePlus in the cheap box, and its text editor kept me going till I got my proper system back.

But by that time I'd got to know and love Page and Photo+, and I followed them up through all their upgrades, making all my business material from brochures to business cards. Then I retired, and didn't bother upgrading any more, and over the years the discs went missing and the machines they were running on cashed in their chips, and I found that Serif wouldn't replace the software.

So I was delighted to find I could get hold of the legacy programs, and many thanks to Alfred for finding me the code to activate my new PagePlus. I've been paging through my old PP files just for the joy of knowing they're not lost.

But now I've got PhotoPlus, I've hit the same problem: they want a registration key, and while I've sent off the form, I wouldn't be surprised if Serif can't be bothered to send me one. Is there a universal registration key for that?

Looking forward to getting to know you people,
Anthony
