Does anyone know where I can pirate clip studio paint from?( I settled for medibang its chill)

[sc101]

What the title says........... it doesn't accept my cards when i try to buy it

Are there not free, open-source alternatives? Me use LibreOffice for writing and me have never looked back.

There's a lot of free app/program to use like Medibang/fire alpaca and such, you can google them.

To be honest, you can google that too. I just tried and there's a lot of source for that,but there's risk of unstable program and trojan, so it's up to you.

[sc101]

there are. i use krita normally. but i wana give clip studio a try with being able to save the finished work, which is not available in the free trial

[sc101]

i just can't find that works lol and god knows i have tried

[Iris-Grimoire]

Are you trying it through Paypal or an alternative? I think I got it through the former just fine; though depending on your country Paypal can get cranky and require you to have either the bank avaliable or have money in the account itself, which is a hassle.

[sc101]

just tried with online banking tbh. i can't link my card with paypal for some reason for payments though i can receive payments

[sc101]

i tried asking there which basically resulted in a bot saying we are not your personal search party lol

yeah no morals. communism all that jazz.

[33rdCenturyCaveman]

Eesh. Personally me would rather explore free alternatives. Might require me to double up on programs but at least me save $219. That would buy me seventy-five Big Macs or one 120-piece bucket of KFC chicken.

Unfortunately there am no safe and cheap way of getting CSP. It not like GOG game installer, which verify file integrity before installing. It not like Windows 10 either, which accept old Windows 7 license. Can only get cracked version of CSP, which am about as advisable as accepting candy from van-dwellers.

Nah fam just save $40 more or less. Ex only has, what, 2 more features than Pro? I mean if you want it specifically for those features cool but for the average Joe just go pro.

[sc101]

it's more of a issue of them not accepting my cards lol

[33rdCenturyCaveman]

That still cut into my fried chicken budget tho.

[Cavechan]

I think you can buy like a visa gift card and use that?

[Bishmuth]

I'm like 90% sure there is a free trial clip studio paint!!

Unfortunately, I completely lost the website where I originally 'found' Clip studio. I used it for a couple years and then accidentally updated it, which locked me out of the software. Then I just found it on sale and bought it

If you can recieve payment from Paypal, have you tried using your balance? Paypal doesn't automatically transfer your money to your bank account/cards. It'll just keep the money you have there until you're ready to transfer it or use it for online purchases. I've done that in the past, and it's worked out fine. No card needed.

I would also look a bit more into your card issue. Which bank are you using, and do you know if they are accepted by Paypal (I would assume more bank cards are accepted, but I dunno)? Has this happened before with other online purchases (such as using Amazon)?

[sc101]

bank card. i only recieved a small sum in paypal but it was automatically transferred to the bank account in like 3-4 days. i don't know much about how paypal works either. pretty new to it

[nostalgicroxas]

Can you just have it at 100% and screencapture it into other programs to save it? Might be a piecemeal solution but it's something...

[Jenny-Toons]

I'm thinking you somehow have autosweep enabled. Is it a business account? Because I don't have autosweep enabled (I didn't make that upgrade, so I don't have that option), which means I can still keep my balance there as long as I need to.
