Activating a license
ABBYY takes steps to protect its intellectual property from piracy. Software piracy is harmful both to manufacturers and to end
users alike. Unlike legally purchased software products, pirated software is never safe and secure.
If your end-user license agreement allows you to install and use the product only one computer, installing it on several computers
will breach the agreement and violate the copyright laws of the Russian Federation. The activation technology restricts the num-
ber of software copies that can be used simultaneously and thus prevents the installation of one licensed copy on an unlimited
number of computers. At the same time, one licensed copy may be installed and activated on one and the same computer any
number of times without any restrictions.
You will not be able to use the software product unless you activate it.
How activation is carried out?
The activation process takes very little time and is carried out via an activation wizard. The activation wizard helps you to send
the data required for activation to ABBYY. These activation data are sent to ABBYY in the form of a code (Product ID) which is
generated based on the hardware on which the product is installed. No personal data are used to generate the code and the user
remains completely anonymous.
The following activation methods are available:
• via Internet - activation is carried out automatically and takes several seconds to complete; this method requires
an active Internet connection
• by e-mail - an e-mail message is generated that contains the data required for activation; please do not alter the
body or the subject of the message to ensure a prompt reply from the mail robot
• by e-mail from another computer – an e-mail message is generated that contains the data required for activation;
you can use this method if the Licensing Server is not connected to the Internet and e-mail messages cannot be sent
from it
• load activation file – connect an activation file you received by e-mail in response to an activation request
Once the activation is complete, ABBYY FlexiCapture 10 can be used on the server on which it was activated.
You can re-install ABBYY FlexiCapture 10 as many times as you need without additional activations (provided the Licensing
Server is not re-installed).
Note:
1. ABBYY FlexiCapture stations automatically connect to the Licensing Server and use the installed license.
2. If you re-install the Licensing Server on a different computer, you will need to re-activate your licenses (in the case of a
license file) and change the address of the Licensing Server in the LicensingSettings.xml file on the stations (see the
“Connecting stations to the Licensing Server” section for details).
3. If there are no free activated licenses available on the Licensing Server and a user tries to run the program on their work-
station, the program will not start and a warning message will be displayed.
4. Hardware licenses can only be activated over the Internet.
Connecting stations to the Licensing Server
All the stations installed in the system access the Licensing Server. The address of the Licensing Server is stored in the Licens-
ingSettings.xml file, which can be found in the installation folder.
