HEVC Extension Purchase

I have purchased the Windows HEVC extension , received the email confirming purchase. There is no link supplied of information as to how to install it.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you

 

Where is My App? HEVC

Ok, glad you have things working (or almost?), the payment is done through the MS Store, similar to the Apple App Store I think, and the actual developers get paid by MS, less their cut (15% or so).
In the apps description it should list the publisher (originator) of the app, so you can check, like this screen grab.




The HEVC and HEIC codecs I installed (about 4 months ago) were both free and published by MS under the description "Tools and Utilities", and still get regular updates, there may be a paid for version also published by MS that I am unaware of. *Smile
