Step 2. Managing Licenses
Configure the licenses using ABBYY FineReader 10 License Manager:
1) Add the licenses to ABBYY FineReader 10 License Manager.
For details, see Adding a License to the License Manager.
2) Create license pools and add the licenses you need into the pools.
For details, see Working with Licenses (Reserving and Releasing Licenses).
A license pool is a collection of licenses (serial numbers) of equal standing. License pools make working with licenses
easier. For example, instead of reserving each license separately, you can add it into a pool and then reserve the pool for
certain workstations. For details, see License Pools
.
3) Reserve the pools and licenses for the workstations.
For details see Working with License Pools (Reserving and Releasing Pools).
By reserving pools and licenses for certain workstations, you give these stations priority in obtaining these licenses.
Per-seat licenses are distributed among workstations and bound to the server (for the purpose of obtaining concurrent licenses)
when ABBYY FineReader 10 is installed. This distribution and binding is determined by which pools and licenses are reserved
for which workstations at the moment of installation. For details, see Obtaining licenses when installing ABBYY FineReader 10
and License Types and License Statuses
.
Important!
Reserve licenses and pools before you install ABBYY FineReader 10 on the workstations. To bind or unbind a workstation after
ABBYY FineReader 10 has been installed on it, you will need to remove the program from the workstation. To move a per-seat
license from one workstation to another after ABBYY FineReader 10 has been installed, you will need to deactivate the license.
The number of allowed deactivations is limited. For details, see Deactivating a per-seat license
.
