What You'll Learn
Reinstall Paint Tool SAI on the new computer
To reinstall Paint Tool SAI on a new computer, you must first uninstall the software from your old device. To do this, go to the Control Panel and then uninstall SAI. You can also try going to the Documents directory, then SYSTEMAX Software Development, and renaming the "SAIv2" folder (or "SAI2 Demo" folder if you're using a version before 2020).
Once you have uninstalled the program, you can download and install SAI on your new computer. If you are reinstalling the program after a trial has ended, you may need to purchase a new license. If you still have your license information, you can log in to the publisher's website and go to the reissue license page to enter your code and receive a new license via email.
If you are unable to reinstall SAI, it may be because there are hidden files on your computer that indicate you have already used your trial. In this case, you may need to contact the publisher or purchase a new license.

Run the ID utility to get a new code
To transfer Paint Tool SAI to another computer, you will need to run the ID utility to get a new code. This is because the SAI license is machine-specific, so simply copying the license over will not work. The system ID is like a lock, and the license is like a key. Therefore, putting the old license on a new computer is like trying to use the same key on a different lock.
To get a new code, you need to run the ID utility in SAI. This will generate a new system ID for the new computer. Once you have the new system ID, you can go to the publisher's website and visit the reissue license page. Here, you will need to log in using the same email you used when you purchased the license certificate. After logging in, you can enter the new code and receive a new license via email.
It is important to note that you should write down the removal code when transferring the license to another computer. This can be found in the license dialog box, along with the software ID and removal code, after successfully removing the license from the previous computer. If the removal of the license was unsuccessful, you may need to follow additional instructions and enter the removal code when prompted.
Additionally, if you are transferring back and forth between two computers, you can use the "License Again" button in the License Manager to import the license into an existing installation. If you do not remember your activation code, you can log in to your SAI Cloud account, click on the product, and view the activation code on the detail page.

Visit the publisher's website
To transfer Paint Tool SAI to another computer, you must visit the publisher's website. Start by installing SAI on your new system and running the I.D. utility in SAI to get a new code. Then, log in to your account on the publisher's website and navigate to the reissue license page. Enter the new code and wait to receive your new license via email.
It is important to note that the SAI license is machine-specific. When you purchased SAI from the publisher, they kept your information, such as your email, on record. To transfer your license to another computer, you will need to remove it from the previous device first.
For Windows 10, go 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 the software ID and a removal code. Make sure to write down the removal code. If the removal is unsuccessful, follow the instructions provided and enter the removal code when prompted.
Now, on the new computer, you can install the software by downloading it from the official website. Use the same license for activation. If you are transferring the license back and forth between two computers, you can use the "License Again" button in License Manager to import the license into an existing installation. If you cannot recall your activation code, log in to your SAI Cloud account, click on the product, and view the details on the page.
