Step 1. Administrative installation
Installing the License Server and the License Manager
1. Place the setup disk into the CD–ROM drive. The setup program will start automatically.
Note: If the setup program does not start automatically, run the file License Server\Setup.exe
from the ABBYY FineReader 12 CD–ROM.
2. Select Deploy ABBYY FineReader in LAN>Install ABBYY FineReader License Server.
3. Follow the instructions of the setup program.
During setup, you can:
Install ABBYY FineReader License Server and ABBYY FineReader License Manager.
The License Server and the License Manager will be installed on the same computer. You
can specify a folder into which the License Manager is to be installed.
Install only ABBYY FineReader 12 License Manager. You will need to specify a folder into
which the License Manager is to be installed and specify the name of the computer hosting
the License Server.
Note:
If several users will be managing the ABBYY FineReader 12 licenses, they must have the
License Manager utility installed on their computers.
Each user must be a member of one of the two local groups on the server:
1. ABBYY Licensing Administrators
2. BUILTIN\Administrators
You can disable user authorization in the file
%commonprogramfiles%\
ABBYY\FineReader\12.00\Licensing\CE\NetworkLicenseServer.ini
(or
%commonprogramfiles(х86)%\
ABBYY\FineReader\12.00\Licensing\CE\NetworkLicenseServer.ini if you are using
a 64-bit system)
