Having trouble downloading/installing the paid version of paint.net

[dthayer]

Hello,

 

Although I have been using paint.net for years (and love it!), I am new to this forum.

 

When I went through the process of upgrading to the newest version this morning, I saw a mention of the Windows Store paid version. Wanting to support the developers (and liking the idea of the auto-update), I decided to purchase it.

 

The purchase procedure seemed to go fine (and my card was charged). The Microsoft order number is 2791353861.

 

Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the Windows 10 version. I'm not sure if this is a paint.net issue or a Microsoft one. I have searched this forum, Microsoft's, and done general Google searches and can't seem to find any mention of my problem.

 

When I look at my Microsoft Store account for paint.net it shows that I do own it:

 

But when I click on the Install/Open button it seems to think I don't own it:

 

 

And it's not in the "My Library" list when I look within MS Store. When I select the "Install on my devices" pop-up (from the "..." button) I get this:

 

I signed out and signed back in to MS and still got the same result. When I check the device (my PC) in my MS account, I get this:

 

I am on the 4.1.5 version of paint.net. I have checked Windows Update and I have all the latest versions of everything.

 

Anybody have any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

Looks like you might be using the Microsoft Store website in your web browser.

Instead, open the Microsoft Store app that's part of Windows.

 

The icon looks like this:

And is the same Microsoft account associated with your Windows profile?

This can be configured in Windows Settings.

I had a similar issue. The solution (for me) was that my profile on the Store wasn't the same one I used to purchase PDN.  I (finally) figured this out when it told me I didn't have any devices attached to my profile.

 

I can't remember the exact steps I used to log in with the correct account. I probably logged out and back in again.
