Sain starts a new version series at 1.0.0, retaining purchased downloads and in-app updates.
If you use 1.6.1, 1.6.2 or another earlier release, install Sain 1.0.0 once from the purchase page. Your index, settings and saved purchase credential are preserved, and subsequent releases in this series can update normally.
