Have I mentioned that you're a star?

I have seen apps that claimed to replace PhotoPlus, they don't. I mostly use it for colourising comics, using the Select and Fill functions, and I haven't found those anywhere else.

I'm trying to recover the old legacy Serif apps, now that my old discs are long lost. I have Page+ up and running thanks to Alfred's help, but everywhere that offers a "PhotoPlus Starter Edition" doesn't work. Either the files don't open or the software once installed doesn't work.

Any idea where to get it? Or am I better off using Affinity's Photo+ 7 or 8 downloads and asking Alfred for a product key?

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.

Affinity's own legacy downloads of Photo+ 7 and 8 want the full monte six-group product key. Is there a universal one of those?

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
