Transferring your Paint Tool Sai license to another computer

To transfer your Paint Tool Sai license to another computer, you must first remove the license from its current computer. This process differs depending on your Windows version:

For Windows 7, go to All Programs, scroll down to the Sai Production Suite Cloud folder, and select License Manager. For Windows 8, go to All Apps, locate the Sai Production Suite Cloud folder, and select License Manager. On Windows 10, simply scroll down to the Sai Production Suite Cloud folder and select License Manager. A dialog box will appear, confirming that "the license was successfully removed from this computer," along with a software ID and a removal code. Make sure to write down this removal code.

If the license removal process is unsuccessful, follow the instructions for Step 2 and input the removal code when prompted. Now, on the new computer that you want to transfer the license to, install the software by downloading it from http://saicloud.com and use the same license. If you're moving the license between two computers frequently, you can simply use the "License Again" button in License Manager to import the license into an existing installation.

Additionally, if you don't remember your activation code, you can log in to your SAi Cloud account, click on the product, and find the Activation Code on the left, beneath the product's icon. If the computer with the current license can no longer start up or connect to the internet, you can detach the license from that computer through your SAi Cloud account. This can be done once a year, after which you should contact SAi Tech Support for further assistance.

When you initially purchased Paint Tool Sai from the publisher, they kept your information, such as your email, on record. So, when you install Paint Tool Sai on a new system, run the I.D. utility to obtain a new code. Then, go to the publisher's website, navigate to the reissue license page, log in, enter the new code, and you will receive a new license via email. Remember that the Paint Tool Sai license is machine-specific.

On Windows 10, simply scroll down to the Sai Production Suite Cloud folder and select License Manager.

A dialog box will appear, displaying the message "The license was successfully removed from this computer," along with the software ID and a removal code. Make sure to write down the removal code. If the license removal was unsuccessful, you can try again by following the instructions in Step 2 and entering the removal code when prompted.

Once you have the removal code, you can transfer the license to another computer. Download and install the software on the new computer from http://saicloud.com and use the same license.
