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\11.00\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\11.00\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 11 CE License Manager)
• in the administrative installation folder where FineReader.exe is located,
E.g. \\MyFileServer\Programs Distribs\ABBYY FineReader 11.
