Without importing this verified registration key, the Saia PG5 software defaults to a restricted 90-day demonstration version . When the evaluation period expires, critical program compilation, online debugging, and PLC communications become entirely blocked.

Alternatively, you can manually place the file into the PG5 system directory. By default, the software looks for the license in the primary installation folder or the user profile path: C:\Program Files (x86)\SAIA-Burgess\PG5_V2_x\ C:\Users\Public\Saia-Burgess\PG5_V2_x\
