I can give more info when I get home, but the title is pretty much the issue I'm having.

If you have your serial number, you can just go to the website and redownload it there.
(Yes, anime studio can be installed multiple times)

But, are you asking how to transfer all your anime studio files?
I guess you would just put all the files in your flash drive, but before doing so
use the gather media tool in case you used out of software objects (music, images, etc)
so it would be in a zipped file.

Downloading it from the site would have been my first choice, but unfortunately, I only have AS9, and I don't believe that is still up.

Sorry, I should've been clearer. I know for sure it's no longer there, at least I didn't see it.

You can simply copy the application from one machine to another. When started it asks for your serial number. That's all.

That might work for Mac, but Windows has a lot of dependencies not installed to the program files. You have to find an installer. Contact SM customer support or see if you can find a free trial download.

Thanks, I'll see if SM has an option. You're right, it's not the same with Windows. I wish it was as easy as copy and paste.

Update for future readers.

In the end I had to pay $8 for a new download link, which wasn't bad.

Thanks again to all of you.

Glad to hear you got it sorted. This time you might want to backup the installer for any future reinstall needs.
