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 Protection 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 9.0 can be used on the server on which it was activated.

You can reinstall ABBYY FlexiCapture 9.0 as many times as you need without additional activations (provided the Protection Server is

not reinstalled).

Note:

1. ABBYY FlexiCapture stations automatically connect to the Protection Server and use the installed license.

2. If you reinstall the Protection Server on a different computer, you will need to reactivate your licenses (in the case of a li

cense file) and change the address of the Protection Server in the Protection.ini file on the stations (see the “Connecting sta

tions to the Protection Server” section for details).

3. If there are no free activated licenses available on the Protection 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 Protection Server

All the stations installed in the system access the Protection Server. The address of the Protection Server is stored in the Protection.ini

file, which can be found here:

%:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ABBYY\FlexiCapture\9.0\Licenses

Windows Vista:

%:\ProgramData\ABBYY\FlexiCapture\9.0\Licenses\Protection.ini

The address of the server is specified in this line:

ServerName=old_server

To enable a station to access a new Protection Server, simply change the old name to the name of the computer where the Protection

Server is installed.
