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 enduser 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 number of soft
ware copies that can be used simultaneously and thus prevents the installation of one licensed copy on an unlimited number of com
puters. At the same time, one licensed copy may be installed and activated on one and the same computer any number of times with
out 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.
