(LOCATE THE LICENSE MANAGER FOR YOUR INSTALL) 

 

If there is a single install of Flexi 22 on your computer, you will find it by going to this destination on your PC. (C:\Program Files\SAi\SAi Production Suite 22). Find the license manager that best represents your install and double click to launch it, if you aren't sure, double click the 64bit version. (We recommend keeping this window open or minimized, you will need it again in a few steps).

Once the Install Manager is launched you will have 3 options. Most users will want to keep the "create desktop shortcut" checked, if you uncheck this. Your icons for Flexi will disappear off of your desktop. If you check the option for "clear applications previous preferences, you will be brought back to default settings, only do this if you would prefer a clean slate with no user settings.  The last option for "copy data from a previous install" will allow you to choose another install on your computer to copy the settings from. 

After considering your options hit "OK

If the license type has changed, EXAMPLE: Flexi Sign 22 to a full Flexi Suite, you will see the icons change to reflect that. If there is no change in the product type the icons will remain the same. 

PLEASE NOTE, YOU CAN NOT LICENSE OLDER OR BRANDED VERSIONS THIS WAY UNLESS THE INSTALL WAS ORIGINALLY FOR THAT VERSION.

Your icons will also appear on the desktop if you kept the first option in the install manager checked, now you can launch the newly licensed software! 

 

If you have pinned icons on your Windows Task Bar, you will want to replace them with the newly created icons.
