I loaded up Flexi 7.6 about a month ago and its been working great. Yesterday I scrubbed some old programmes that I ve never used to try speed my pc up..things that have been on for years..cant remember what tho. Now when I click to load flexi it goes thru the loading process and when its just about loaded up it comes up "This application requires that a hardware key to be installed,but none was found" and doesnt open programme up. Can anyone shed any light on this...it would happen when I receive my first ever order!!

And is Flexistarter 10 the same company as did see it on ebay for about £65 or something..just wanted to know as 7.6 works with my serif design software so if it is same software it most likely will tho the guy selling was unable to say if it did or not???(ideally I want to get old software re activated)

youve got a rip off version of flexi, if its legal you should have a dongle.

***GENUINE SAI FLEXISTARTER 10 SOFTWARE FLEXISIGN - CONTOUR CUT FUNCTION*** | eBay

Thinking about buying this...this comes with a dongle. Should this be straight forward to download and set up to the correct com port etc and is this a fair price to pay? I couldnt set up the last software to save myself so guy did it on teamviewer for me..it was far too technical for me...dont want to buy this and not be able to set it up!!

see this

ETC Worldwide Suppliers of Garment Decoration Products | Embroidery, Sublimation, Heat Press, Packaging, Diamante, Badges

and search flexi 10 for yourself on google you will find lots of info to help you make your decision, rip off software does not sit too well as it is stealing and you wont get much help.
Sorry

Yep I obviously wasnt aware it was ripped off til you replied. Thats why I asked if the link I put for flexi 10 was ligit....I guess now looking at your link that it aint due to the price! Just looking for an original version of flexi...at an affordable price...an older version is fine as solely use it for cutting after pasteing from my serif. Anyone tell me where I can get this seeing as tho I cant tell whats real or not?

 

[johnbol1]

what are you trying to do blade, is inkscape no good for you?(free)

 

[theblade]

I wasnt aware you could cut straight off inkscape? I tried inkscape to be honest and didnt like it. I bought serif prior to trying inkscape and found it better...just finding compatable cutting software is a problem. Most my designs are b&w vectors of photographs and on serif this is easy...tried it unsuccessfully on inkscape...my computer skills it has to be said leaves nothing at all to be desired. Going to college one afternoon after the summer to do an illustrator/photoshop course...til then its serif all the way!

if you are going to buy any software then i would go with coreldraw, its excellent and can be bought relatively cheaply on ebay, i use x4 mostly . flexi is like an easy to use version of corel. we do wide format print also so other benefits from x4 ...

 

[theblade]

Can you cut straight from corel?

 

[johnbol1]

yes, just convert to outline hairline, and send to cutter as an added printer on your machine, we do it all the time
