If you've purchased from the Affinity Store you'll need to activate your app's licence to be able to access your Affinity account. You can do this by entering your Affinity ID and password at startup.
App purchases via the App Store or Microsoft Store can be registered at startup by creating a new Affinity ID or by signing into an existing Affinity account. You do not have to register payment information to create an Affinity ID.
Content purchased from the Affinity Store, such as brush packs and .afassets files, is easily installed—manually or automatically—and available to use at all times. A persistent Internet connection is not required.
The activation window is presented the first time your Affinity app is opened. If you deferred activation at that time, select Account on the Toolbar to reopen the window.
From the window, you can sign in using your existing Affinity ID.
With your app signed in to your account, the window changes to show all the content registered to your Affinity ID.
From here, you can access the Affinity Store, purchase content, choose which content is installed, and deactivate your device's Affinity app licences.
For content, the default behaviour is never to automatically download content, which avoids unwanted consumption of any metered data allowance.
To open this window at a later time, select Account on the Toolbar.
You might do this if your Internet connection is unmetered or your device is only ever online via Wi-Fi.
