for details.

How can I change the network connection settings?
You can change the connection settings used for communication among the License Server, the License Manager, and the
workstations.
Setting up a network connection
1. To set up a network connection, use the following file
%programfiles%\Common Files\ABBYY\FineReader\10.00\Licensing\CE\Licensing.ini
This file is located on the computer where the License Server is installed.
2. In the above file, change the desired parameters:
● Connection protocol
See Setting up the connection protocol
for details.
● Connection port
See Setting up the connection port
for details.
E.g.:
[Licensing]
ConnectionProtocolType=TCP\IP
ConnectionEndpointName=81
Note: Make sure that your firewall does not prevent %programfiles%\Common
Files\ABBYY\FineReader\10.00\Licensing\CE\NetworkLicenseServer.exe from accessing the specified port.
3. Copy the file Licensing.ini
● in the License Manager folder on all the computers where the License Manager has been installed (by default, the
License Manager is installed into %programfiles%\ABBYY FineReader 10 CE License Manager)
● in the administrative installation folder where FineReader.exe is located,
E.g. \\MyFileServer\Programs Distribs\ABBYY FineReader 10.
Important! For the changes to take effect, you must restart ABBYY FineReader 10 CE Licensing Service
4. Install ABBYY FineReader on the workstations.
