• By e–mail from another computer (slow)
The Activation Wizard will display the text of an activation e–mail message and the e–mail
address to which the message should be sent. On another computer, create an e–mail message,
copy the text from the Activation Wizard into this message, and send the message to the
address indicated in the Activation Wizard. You will receive a file in reply. Copy this file onto the
computer on which ABBYY FineReader 11 is to be activated. In the Activation Wizard, click
Next>, then click Browse… and provide the path to the file.
Important! Do not alter the text of the activation message generated by the Activation Wizard.
Make sure the message has no attachments and no automatic signature is inserted at the end
of the message.
• By phone (slow)
Important! This activation method is not available for some types of distribution packages.
In the Activation Wizard, select your country. The wizard will show the phone numbers of your
nearest ABBYY office or partner. Dial one of the numbers and communicate to the operator your
serial number and Product ID (both will be displayed in the Activation Wizard). The operator will
read an activation to you. In the Activation Wizard, click Next> and enter the activation code..
Note: An activation code has 26 digits and will take some time to dictate.
Automatic activation
Some versions of the product automatically activate themselves over the Internet without asking
the user for confirmation. This type of activation requires an active Internet connection. If
automatic activation fails for some reason, you can either try activating the product once again or
select a different activation method.
Renewing a license
If you have a time–limited license, you will not be able to use ABBYY FineReader 11 when the
license expires. To continue using the product, you will need to run the Activation Wizard and
activate a new serial number.
