such authentication type when connect to the Application Server.
Upgrading from ABBYY FlexiCapture 9.0 and 10
ABBYY FlexiCapture 11 can be installed on the same computer where ABBYY FlexiCapture 10 or 9 is already in-
stalled, but versions 10 and 9 cannot be updated to version 11.
You cannot use your ABBYY FlexiCapture 9 and 10 serial numbers to run ABBYY FlexiCapture 11.
You can use ABBYY FlexiCapture and ABBYY FlexiLayout projects and FlexiLayouts created in earlier versions of the
program. When you open an ABBYY FlexiCapture and ABBYY FlexiLayout project created in an earlier version of the
program, it will be converted to the ABBYY FlexiCapture 11 format. Once a project is converted, it can no longer be
opened in the earlier versions.
If you have documents already loaded into the system, we recommend that you first complete the processing of these
documents and only then migrate to ABBYY FlexiCapture 11.
Updating projects created in a standalone edition of ABBYY FlexiCapture (*.fcproj)
Projects created in a standalone edition of ABBYY FlexiCapture are stored in the file system. You can open projects
created in ABBYY FlexiCapture 9.0 or 10 (.fcproj) and use them in ABBYY FlexiCapture 11. Please note the following:
- After you open an .fcproj in ABBYY FlexiCapture 11, you will no longer be able to open it in ABBYY
FlexiCapture 9.0 or 10. If you think you will need to open an .fcproj in ABBYY FlexiCapture 9.0 or 10 in the
future, create a copy of that project before opening it in ABBYY FlexiCapture 11.
- Once a project is updated, the Document Definitions lose their “published” status. To publish the Document
Definitions, on the Administrator Station, select Project -> Document Definitions, then select the Document
Definitions to publish and click Publish.
- When you open an ABBYY FlexiCapture 9.0 or 10 project in ABBYY FlexiCapture 11, you may need to de-
lete all the processing results and analyze all the pages once again. (You may continue using old projects
without recognizing the documents again, but some data may be displayed incorrectly. For instance, if there
are format errors in an ABBYY FlexiCapture 9.0 or 10 project, they will not be displayed in the document
window in the same way as such errors are displayed in ABBYY FlexiCapture 11.)
Updating projects and databases created in a distributed edition of ABBYY FlexiCapture
A distributed edition of ABBYY FlexiCapture works with projects that are stored in the database on the Application
Server.
There are several ways to migrate from an earlier version to ABBYY FlexiCapture 11.
Connecting to a database created in an earlier version of ABBYY FlexiCapture
Once ABBYY FlexiCapture 11 servers are installed, you can use the Administration and Monitoring Console to con-
nect to the database and file storage location that were used by your earlier version of ABBYY FlexiCapture. Then
update the database to the new version and continue working with it. If you choose this method, you will no longer be
able to work with your earlier version of ABBYY FlexiCaptureа.
Note: After you complete the steps described in this section, you will no longer be able to use your earlier version of
ABBYY FlexiCapture. For this reason, we recommend that you back up your old database and file storage location
before you processed with these steps. You can then use these back-up copies to restore the operation of your earlier
version of ABBYY FlexiCapture if any problems occur. To back up your old database, use the back-up tools available
in MS SQL or Oracle (depending on the type of DBMS that you use). Then copy all of the contents of the file storage
location to a secure location. For detailed instructions on how to create a back-up copy, see the System Administra-
tor’s Guide of your earlier version of ABBYY FlexiCapture.
To connect to the old database:
1. Complete the processing of documents with your earlier version of ABBYY FlexiCapture.
 Complete the processing of all the batches that have already been registered in the system.
 Start the Administration and Monitoring Console.
 In the Administration and Monitoring Console, select Service -> Cleanup to remove any redundant da-
ta.
