ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide
How can I rename the computer hosting the License Server or move
the License Server to another computer?
If you deployed ABBYY FineReader in the local area network and then changed the name of the
computer hosting the License Server or an unexpected error occurred on the License Server computer,
do the following:
1. Remove the License Server from the computer on which it was installed.
Note: If this computer is inaccessible, go to step 2.
1.1.Open the Control Panel by clicking Control Panel on the Start menu and select Programs and
Features.
1.2.In the list of installed programs, select ABBYY FineReader PDF 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> to the
%Program Files%\ABBYY FineReader PDF License Server\LicenseManager.ini file.
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 the ABBYY FineReader PDF Licensing
Service.
4. Add and activate your licenses in ABBYY FineReader PDF License Manager. For details, see the
ABBYY FineReader License Manager help file.
Note. If you are using Per-Seat licenses, we recommend restoring the status of your licenses before
adding them in the License Manager.
5. In the administrative installation point, open the ABBYY FineReader PDF 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 PDF on a workstation.
