MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted April 20, 2017 Not sure what the DESAY edition is,, There are several versions of Flexistarter that only have limited drivers. Like for only Refine Pcut, Or Liyu 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted April 20, 2017 Desay version might have been a MASTER vinyl cutter edition... I also have Flexistarter that is just a Seiki edition with only Seiki drivers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted April 20, 2017 A lot of those companies included Flexistarter back in the late 2000's with their vinyl cutters, as a starter software. (with only the vinyl cutter drivers of the vinyl cutter sold) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted April 20, 2017 Every version except 8.5 of mine has the same place to download the dongle driver. This is Flexistarter 8.6 vs2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted April 20, 2017 @CBARNY1 your computer is asking for the USB flash drive, which is the password for the Flexisoftware, you have installed....If you don't have the USB flash drive, for your USB com port, your software will not work.. So do you have the Sentinel USB flash drive dongle? If not, nothing that we can do. You also have to have the password ID number/letters to enter into the Flexistarter software. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted April 20, 2017 Everything I see about the Flexistarter Desay version refers to it as v 7.5 or 7.6 so that is software back to around 2004-2006 Another post elsewhere (Hello, I have Flexistarter Desay Edition 7.6 v2, ) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
