Note: ABBYY is concerned about software piracy and takes measures to protect its intellectual property rights. Software piracy
is detrimental to software manufacturers and to end users alike. When buying a legal software copy, users can be sure that they
obtain a quality product without any changes or alterations introduced by a third party. Illegal products are never safe.
If the License Agreement allows you to install and use your copy of the software only on one personal computer, any additional
installations of the same copy on other PCs will constitute a breach of the License Agreement as well as of the copyright law of
the Russian Federation and international copyright law. The activation technology controls the number of copies and prevents the
installation of one licensed copy on an unlimited number of workstations. At the same time, the number of installations and
activations on one and the same PC is not limited in any way whatsoever (this may be necessary, for example, if you change your
operating system or make major changes to your hardware configuration).
You will not be able to use ABBYY FineReader 10 unless you activate your license.
