Frequently Asked Questions
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\12.00\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\12.00\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 12 CE License Manager)
in the administrative installation folder where FineReader.exe is located,
E.g. \\MyFileServer\Distribs\ABBYY FineReader 12.
Important! For the changes to take effect, you must restart the ABBYY FineReader 12 CE Licensing
Service
4. Install ABBYY FineReader on the workstations.

be used:

FineReader on the workstations
