Launching the ABBYY FineReader 10 License Manager
From Start>Programs>ABBYY FineReader 10 CE Administrative Tools, select ABBYY FineReader License Manager.
License Types and License Statuses
There are two types of licenses: concurrent licenses and per-seat licenses.
Concurrent licenses
Concurrent licenses (distributed access licenses) are not bound to any particular workstation. When ABBYY FineReader 10 is
launched, it contacts ABBYY FineReader 10 License Server for concurrent licenses. If there are suitable concurrent licenses
available, ABBYY FineReader 10 will “take” them (for more information, see Obtaining concurrent licenses when launching
ABBYY FineReader 10
). When ABBYY FineReader 10 is closed on the workstation, the licenses are released.
ABBYY FineReader 10 will contact ABBYY FineReader 10 License Server only if was bound to the server when installing
ABBYY FineReader 10. For details, see Obtaining licenses when installing ABBYY FineReader 10
.
Note: If there are no free licenses on ABBYY FineReader 10 License Server, a corresponding message will be displayed.

concurrent licenses. The number of installed ABBYY FineReader 10 copies may exceed the number of concurrent licenses.

workstations with unstable connection to the server or on portable workstations (laptop computers).
Per-seat licenses
Per-seat licenses are bound to workstations via the activation process. ABBYY FineReader 10 on the bound workstations will not
contact the server for licenses and will run even if there is no connection with the server.
