Make sure Not to put SAI in the program folders. Instead place SAIs' folder on the C Drive ( Hard drive alone ).

For those who have been eagerly awaiting SAI2 (like me!), it's been released in a beta version with a lot of improvements, outline below which I've just copy and pasted from here (where you can also download the program from).
Please consider paying for the license, as the development team is literally one person, who has in the past, stopped developing on SAI because no one bought his software.

Just checking, we're able to run SAI 1 and SAI 2 concurrently with no problems right? Like, this is an entirely separate program?
From only reading the description, this seems really cool. Perspective rulers are always awesome.
Edit: Just set it up. This is pretty nice

[–]hash_m Water you doing? Says -
Yep, it's completely self-contained! SAI2 saves in a different file format from SAI anyway, so you can't get things mixed up.
I'm just happy that I don't have to click and rotate in line work mode to get a circle any more lol.
Elleranthe asks -
I have a question: It says that I can remove the feature lock with my SAI 1 license, but then tells me that I should also download a new certificate 'WITH SYSTEM ID OF SAI VER 2'. Does that mean my SAI 1 license won't work? It seems contradictory to me and I want some clarification.
hash_m Water you doing? Says -
You will need to generate another licence file on the website, based off of your purchase email and the system ID supplied by SAI2 to unlock all current features.
Your current version of SAI will have a different system ID from the one on SAI2.
