ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide
Activating licenses in Azure Blob storage
ABBYY FineReader PDF licenses can be stored in an Azure cloud storage BLOB.
Important! Only licenses of a specific type can be activated and stored in Azure.
Recommendations for setting up Azure
1. ABBYY FineReader PDF can only work with block Blobs.
Note. For more information about Azure Blob objects, see the official Microsoft website.
2. We recommend creating a separate storage account for ABBYY FineReader PDF, so that account
settings and credentials are not modified by accident.
3. During license activation, the licensing server should have access to the appropriate Blob object
storage.
Activating a license in an Azure cloud storage Blob
1. Install the ABBYY FineReader PDF License Manager application (for more information, see
Installing the License Server and the License Manager ).
2. To the %commonprogramfiles%\ABBYY\FineReader\16\Licensing\NetworkLicenseServer.ini
file located on the server, add the following Azure authentication data:
[Azure]
account=%storage_account_name%
key=%security_key%
path=%path_to_blob%
where account is the name of the Blob cloud storage account, key is the access key, and path is
the path to the storage.
Sample NetworkLicenseServer.ini Azure authentication data:
[Azure]
account=fr16licensing
key=iD32nqhz/poQmcsFog4567nrJwxrcw0uCvxmXsM0joq9UwLN7RL5iG7SpBMFGsajxN
path=https://fr16licensing.blob.core.windows.net
[Licensing]
NetworkServer=yes
3. Restart the ABBYY.Licensing.FineReader.16.0 licensing service on the server where ABBYY
FineReader PDF License Manager is installed.
