1. Remove the License Server from the computer on which it was installed.
Note: If this computer is inaccessible, go to step 2.
a. In Start>Control Panel, select Programs and Features.
b. In the list of installed programs, select ABBYY FineReader 14 CE License Server and
click Remove.
2. Install the License Server on a different computer, for example on \\NewServer.
3. On all the computers where the License Manager is installed, either edit or add the parameter
[Licensing]
NetworkServerName=<COMPUTER NAME> in the file
%Program Files%\ABBYY FineReader 14 License Server\LicenseManager.ini
This parameter allows you to specify the name of the server to be accessed by the License Manager.
For example, specify
[Licensing]
NetworkServerName=MyComputerName
Important! For the changes to take effect, you must restart ABBYY FineReader 14 CE Licensing
Service.
4. Add and activate your licenses in ABBYY FineReader 14 Corporate License Manager. For details, see
the ABBYY FineReader License Manager help file.
5. In the administrative installation point, go to the ABBYY FineReader 14 folder and create a
Licensing.ini file there.
The path to the administrative installation folder was specified earlier when creating the
administrative installation point. For details, see
Creating an administrative installation point
.
6. In the Licensing.ini file you have created, add the NetworkServerName parameter to the
[Licensing] section. This parameter specifies the name of the server, for example
[Licensing]
NetworkServerName=MyComputerName
7. Reinstall ABBYY FineReader on a workstation. A file named <COMPUTER
NAME>.ABBYY.LicServer will be created. <COMPUTER NAME> is the value of the
NetworkServerName parameter. For example: MyComputerName.ABBYY.LicServer.
For details, see
Deploying a multi-user distribution package with per-seat licenses and automatic
activation
.
8. Copy the <COMPUTER NAME>.ABBYY.LicServer file onto the other workstations. You can find
the file in:
%programdata%\ABBYY\FineReader\14.00\Licenses if you use Windows Vista or later, or
in
%allusersprofile%\Application Data\ABBYY\FineReader\14.00\Licenses if you use
Microsoft Windows XP or earlier
