ABBYY® FineReader 14 User’s Guide
Activating ABBYY FineReader
After you install ABBYY FineReader 14, you will need to activate the program to be able to run it in full
mode. Unless you activate ABBYY FineReader 14, the program will run in trial mode, which lets you try
out the program but limits the number of pages you can save and stops working after a certain period of
time.
To activate ABBYY FineReader 14:
1. In the New Task window, click Help > Activate....
2. Enter your serial number or load a license file if you have one.
Select one of the four activation options displayed in the Activation Wizard:

Activation is carried out automatically and takes only seconds to complete. An active Internet
connection is required for this method.

page.

ABBYY FineReader 14 will be activated and will run in full mode from now on.

message containing a license file.
