Fuji Flexa

Hi James,

What version of Flexa are you using? If you are using 2.x, if I remember correctly, the licensing was tied to your computers mac address. If you transferred Flexa to another PC or re-installed windows it was complicated to get it working. Are you using a dongle version of flexa? it's been really easy for us to transfer to different computers. The only change we've had to do is update the user server name and port number in the Flexa Setup to get it working.

If its tied to the MAC address put the NIC card from the original PC into the new one.

Of course this should never occur, but this, forgive me shitty worlds of a complex Flexa system, which makes me cry once in a while. Does anybody here at this forum know what it takes to install this shit? First You have to set up a dedicated Flexa server and then the clients? Ridiculous hard working, especially since only a few guy's from Fuji in whole Europe is qualified to do so. If you run into a problem and call the very good local IT-department then the answer is: Sorry, this special Flexa server we don't know anything about! There is is a very good s/w guy in Finland though, please let me now and I can give you his number, or you can just contact him directly via Cynrona.

OK! Then if you try to call FUJI service support, then it turn's up that there are only a few people in whole Europe that can support this. One of the best is located in Sweden and also one of them who set up our system, but he no longer works for the companay. So what the heck!!!!Why can't Fuji support their own complex shit I ask You?

I find out by myself, it is at most of the times the database on the server crashed. Try to do a re-boot the Flexa server and make sure that there is a logon. Then restart your clients. This is no solution, but a work around.

Sincerly. Mika
