ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide

As a result, an ABBYY FineReader distribution package will be created which can be installed on

workstations without the need to enter a serial number. The product will be activated over the

Internet automatically, without asking the user for any confirmation. The workstation on which the

product is being installed must be connected to the Internet.

Installing ABBYY FineReader PDF 16 on

Workstations

Important! Prior to installing ABBYY FineReader PDF on workstations, you must:

Create an administrative installation point and configure licenses using the ABBYY FineReader PDF

License Manager (see Installing the License Server and the License Manager , Creating an

administrative installation point and Managing Licenses ).

Note. A workstation obtains a per-seat license and is bound to the server only when ABBYY

FineReader PDF is installed on it. How this happens depends on the configuration of the licenses at

the time of the installation.

Create a multi-user administrative installation point (see Deploying a multi-user distribution

package with per-seat licenses and automatic activation ).

Note. If a workstation was cloned from another machine, you must change the value of the Security

Identifier (SID) before installing ABBYY FineReader to avoid malfunctions of the licensing mechanism.

Interactive installation

1. Create an administrative installation point (see Administrative installation) or a multi-user

administrative installation point (see Deploying a multi-user distribution package with per-seat

licenses and automatic activation ).

2. Run the setup.exe file in the administrative installation folder.

3. Wait until the installation has completed. Once installed, you can begin using ABBYY FineReader

PDF 16.
