• By phone
Select your country in the corresponding dialog box of the Activation Wizard. The wizard will show
the telephone numbers of the nearest ABBYY office or ABBYY partner in your area. Communicate
the serial number and the Product ID displayed in the Activation Wizard to an ABBYY technical
support manager.
Important! Activation codes may be very long and may take some time to dictate over the
phone.
• Subscription
Activation is carried out automatically if you choose to renew your license.
The Activation Wizard creates a unique Product ID. This parameter is created on the basis of your
computer configuration data as of the moment of activation. The parameter does not include any
personal information, information about the computer model, installed software, user settings, or
stored data. In addition to the Product ID, the serial number, product name and version, and the
interface language of ABBYY FineReader are transferred to the server during activation. This
information is required in order to select the appropriate language and content of the activation
reply message and will not be used for any other purposes.
You can re–install ABBYY FineReader on the computer on which it has been activated as often as
you wish, without activating it again. The Activation Wizard detects and tolerates changes to your
PC configuration. Minor upgrades will not require re–activation. If major upgrades are made to the
system (e.g. if you format the hard disk or re–install the operating system), you may need to obtain
a new activation code.
Once you activate ABBYY FineReader 11 Corporate Edition, you will also get access to ABBYY
Business Card Reader, a handy application that enables you to scan business cards, capture the
contact data, and export the captured contacts into various electronic formats.
