Re: Installing PagePlus X9 on a new laptop

You don't need the Registration number to install (you can use 881887), you need the Product Key. You will see this under Help/Registration Wizard.

Put the CD (actually a DVD) in the drive, and if it doesn't run automatically, open File Explorer, and double click Setup.exe.

You may have to copy the whole DVD to your hard drive if that doesn't work.

You could buy an external dvd drive with usb 3 for about £12 off amazon.

I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure.

When I installed ImpactPlus 5 a few weeks ago, the automatic check for updates on first run successfully found a patch installer on Serif’s servers, but I’m not aware of any full installer downloads that are still available direct from Serif. Even if they are, I wouldn’t expect any such installers to be available from the Affinity site.

Yes that puzzles me.  Serif (or whatever they are now) aren't helpful towards their old Plus customers.

Affinity is a brand created by Serif, and Serif is owned by Canva now, but the Serif name lives on (or so it seems, at least for the time being).

My original receipt email had a link where I was able to download PagePlus X9

Thanks, Bridie, that’s very interesting! The FAQ post about how to locate your legacy order product key only mentions that sales of PagePlus X9, PhotoPlus X8 and DrawPlus X8 after 14th May 2018 resulted in the product key being added to an Affinity store account. There is no indication that there would also be a download link.
