So, you bought software that doesn't work/is incomplete?

a) You got ripped off
b) Send it back / Get a refund

Your software is worthless without a dongle and the password it looks for. So if you don't have a way to get it you will need to shop for different software. In addition, Signmate 5.7 (private label FlexiSign) is about 10 years out of date and will not install on Windows XP or Vista (and possible not on Windows ME or 2000 either). It is a 16 bit application designed for Windows 95 and Windows 98 operating systems.

Your expense from the least expensive solution to the most powerful software solution will range anywhere from a few hundred dollars to around $4,000.

If you have Corel or Illustrator already, there are some pretty affordable plug-ins out there that may do just that for you.

As Fred mentioned, Corel with the Co-cut add-on should work for that machine.
As I stated, try WinPC Sign, will very likely work for your machine, but wont break the bank account.

You can cut directly form Corel to Roland plotters, what you need is the windows driver for that model plotter. If you do a search you will find which driver it is. If you use Corel and the windows driver it is not as easy as using a bridge program.
