Need Help Install CD for VE LXi Master plus 7.5v5

[johnsplace]

My old computer packed it in and I can't install my ( VE LXi Master plus 7.5v5 ) software on a new computer with out the install software. I have the USB Dongle. I'm using a Lynx 24 vinyl cutter from Vinyl Express.
I was able to copy the old software to the new computer, but it can't find the dongle even with the red light on the dongle lite up.
I hope someone can help me or at least point me in the right direction.
Thanks

If the LXI versions are same as FlexiSign, 7.5 only works on Windows7 without issues in 32bit.
On Windows7 64bit computer Still can cut, but Rip/Print could fail.

I might have Updated dongle Driver on My Flexi10.5 CD

Hi Attila
It's been so long since I installed the (VE LXi Master + 7.5v5) for the first time so I might need a refresher on how to do it again. I copied the software from the old hard to a new hard drive. When I started it up, it looked like it was going to work except it couldn't find the USB Key. I tried cloning the old hard drive, but it wouldn't even start up on the new computer. I couldn't just swap out the old hard drive and physically put it in the new computer because the pin out wasn't SATA. The old computer was running Windows XP Pro. Could that be the problem because the new computer is using Windows 7?
I see you have Hasting on your profile. Where is that located?

Windows 7 should be fine. copying files over is not the way to install the software.
I am int the UK.

You need to install the hardware key drivers. They won't be installed just by copying the software from the old computer. I also don't know if copying the Flexi / LXi directory will be enough to get it to work on the new system. Unfortunately I don't have an installer for Flexi 7.x any longer, the oldest we have is Flexi 8.6v2.

If I remember correctly that version of Flexi / LXi used Aladdin HASP hardware keys. Aladdin has been purchased several times and is now part of Thales. They have a section to download drivers for the HASP keys on their website: https://cpl.thalesgroup.com/software-monetization/sentinel-drivers, but I don't know if they have a version there that is compatible with Windows 7.

I have uploaded the hardware key drivers from the Flexi 8.6v2 install disk to our SharePoint site, the link is below. You can try and download them and see if that gets you up and running.

Install the hardware key drivers.
The driver software included with older and newer version. Install it and restart your vwindows, start the program.
