Chapter 1 - Installing and Starting ABBYY FineReader
Note: An Installation Code is required to complete installation if one of following applies to your
computer: there is no 3.5" floppy disk drive present; installation is being carried out using non-original
or corrupted media; applications have been installed that are in conflict with ABBYY FineReader. The
Installation Code can be obtained from ABBYY or one of its resellers, and is created from the Product
ID (issued automatically by the installation program) and the serial number (printed on the registration
card). To obtain your
Installation Code, simply fill out the relevant form at www.abbyy.com. Alterna-
tively you can scan the completed registration card and e-mail it to us, or call the technical support
number.
If you come across an error message, see the Readme.htm file for assistance (located on the ABBYY
FineReader CD-ROM).
Installation on a Network Server
(System Administrators Only)
Installation of the ABBYY FineReader 6.0 Corporate Edition on a network server can only be carried
out by the system administrator. Proceed as follows:
● If your software package contains both a CD-ROM and floppy disk, insert the installation
floppy disk and run setup.exe from the FineReader CD-ROM with the /a command-line
option.
● If your software package contains only a CD-ROM, run setup.exe from the FineReader
CD-ROM with the /a command-line option.
Additional licenses
Following installation on a network server, you will need to add serial numbers if FineReader is to be
used by more than one user:
1. Run LicSetup.exe from the folder\program files\ABBYY FineReader 6.0 where ABBYY
FineReader 6.0 Corporate Edition was installed. The
Add License dialog will be displayed.
2. Enter a new serial number and click the
Add button.
Note:
1. You cannot use logical drives created by the SUBST command.
2. If you choose "installation to a network", SP 6 and IE 5.5 will NOT be automatically installed
on the server. If you choose any other installation method, SP 6 and IE 5.5 will be auto-
matically installed on your system. To avoid any difficulties related to the absence of these
components, the system administrator should check if both of these components are
installed on the network station prior to installation. If they are not installed, the system
should be updated before installing ABBYY FineReader.
3. Check before installation that all users have read-write access to the network folder named
Users (this folder is automatically created during application installation and stores
temporary files).
