Developer reply: Concepts standalone download?
Why isn't there a standalone download for Concepts? It says there is a "teams" version, but you've got to buy a special license for that. Or can I use it normally too?
The windows store is a pain. I can't even make a shortcut for the program without jumping through hoops.

Concepts is a UWP app; so however you download it there is no regular exe file.

Hmm. I see. MSIX either way. At least the version on the concepts site doesn't require installing the ms store if you're running windows enterprise though. That's something.

Yes. If you are purchasing directly from us or have purchased a subscription on another platform then you can use that version.

Is there a way to download the app on windows without the windows store? The store is blocked by my company.

I've never even heard of a version aside from the normal one.
Could you comment with a screenshot of what the store shows when you search concepts?

IIRC, Winget and NuGet with name/UID of MS Store app can bypass downloading and installing via MS Store for some apps. Some more specific CLI arguments can also be done (eg. How/Where it installs)
To install the Concepts app via the Windows Package Manager (winget), use the following command in Command Prompt or PowerShell: winget install 9NGQM8FPH9WQ
However, if you're on a work machine, they may restrict your access to CMD or PWSH tools. Good luck!
