What You'll Learn
Using a license on another computer
To use Paint Tool SAI on multiple computers, you need to transfer your software license to each new device. This can be done by following these steps:
Firstly, open the trial version of SAI on your new computer and click on "Others", then "System ID". Note down the number that appears. Next, locate the email from SYSTEMAX containing your key information. The email should be titled "[SYSTEMAX] Information About Your Software License". Follow the link in the email and input your license key, license password, and the System ID of your new computer. This will generate a .slc file, which you should download and place in the same directory as the program.
Alternatively, if you have access to the computer with the original software license, go to the License Manager and remove the license from that device. Then, on your new computer, log in to saicloud.com and download the product again. Install it, then enter your activation code.
If you do not have access to the original computer, you can still transfer your license. Go to saicloud.com and log in to your account. Choose Paint Tool SAI from the products, then click on "License Removed". Input the removal code if you have it; if not, click the "No Removal Code" option.
It is worth noting that SAI offers a solution if you have lost access to your original computer due to hardware issues, theft, or accessibility issues. However, this offer can only be used once a year to prevent license theft.

Installing Paint Tool SAI on a new computer
To install Paint Tool SAI on a new computer, you must first ensure you have the correct license to use the software on multiple devices. When purchasing the full version of Paint Tool SAI, you need to input your computer's system ID. This system ID acts as a unique lock, and the license is like a key, so you cannot use the same license on a different computer or device.
To transfer your license to a new computer, you must first install Paint Tool SAI on the new device. Then, you need to obtain the new system ID for the program on that computer. Go to the publisher's website and find the reissue license page. Here, you will enter your license information and receive a new license via email.
Next, go to the license download page and input your new license information to get a new certificate. This will generate an .slc file, which you must download and place in the same directory as the Paint Tool SAI program. This will allow you to use the software on your new computer.
It is important to note that you must use the same email address you used when purchasing the original license certificate to obtain a reissued license. Additionally, the process may vary slightly depending on the specific version of Paint Tool SAI you are using.

Transferring Paint Tool SAI from one computer to another
To transfer Paint Tool SAI from one computer to another, you will need to perform a new installation of the software on the new device. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do this:
First, access the License Manager on the original computer. You can do this by going to the Windows Start Menu, finding the Sai Production Suite Cloud folder, and selecting License Manager. Here, you will choose the option to "Remove License From This Computer". A window will appear, confirming the removal and providing you with the Software ID and removal code.
Next, move on to the new computer. Visit the SAI website, saicloud.com, and log in to your account. If you do not have an account, you will need to create one. From the products available, choose Paint Tool SAI. This will open up a detail page. Here, you will find the option to remove the license from the previous computer, if you haven't done so already. Input the removal code if you have it. If not, simply click the ""No Removal Code" option, and then confirm that you wish to remove the software.
Now, you can download and install the software on the new computer. Once downloaded, run the program and follow the installation prompts. You will be asked to accept the terms and conditions of the license agreement. After this, you will need to input your activation code or license key to finalise the installation.
If you do not have the license key, you can find it by opening the trial version of SAI on the new computer, clicking "Others", and then "System ID". Take down this number and find your email from SYSTEMAX with your key information. Input your license key, license password, and the new computer's System ID on the SYSTEMAX website. This will generate a .slc file for you to download and place in the same directory as the program.
Please note that you will need access to both computers to perform this transfer smoothly. Additionally, remember that simply copying the license over will not work, as the license is specific to the System ID of the computer.
