ASUS FlexSave User Guide

FlexSave Start

1. 

Connect the external hard drive to 

the USB port. FlexSave will start 

automatically. If FlexSave does not start 

automatically, open 

My Computer

 and 

double-click the FlexSave icon in the 

Devices with Removable Storage

 field.

Please do not eject or delete the 

FlexSave virtual optical disc drive, or 

the software will not run normally.

2. 

You are required to enter the FlexSave 

serial number printed on the orange 

label on the software package. Enter the 

serial number and click 

OK

 to complete 

software activation.

A hidden folder named 

FlexSave

 will be created on the external hard drive after FlexSave 

activation and used for the data storage of FlexSave configuration and backup. If the 

external hard disk is formatted, or the hidden folder is deleted, you will lose the FlexSave 

backup data, and the FlexSave configuration will be restored to software default.

FlexSave is now ready to use. For better 

security, it is recommended to configure 

a username and password for future 

use. Please refer to the section on 

Configure username and password 

for logging in

 for details.
