Step 2. Managing Licenses

ABBYY FineReader 11 License Manager is a special application provided with ABBYY FineReader 11 and intended for managing AB B YY FineRea der licenses. The applicat ion is insta lled on the License Administ ration Station when ABBYY FineReader 11 is deployed in a loc al area networ k (see

and the License Manager

Configure your licenses with ABBYY FineReader 11 License Manager:

1) Add your licens es t o ABBYY FineReader 11 License Manager. An ABBYY FineReader 11 license (or group of licenses) has a unique serial number which identifies it. To activate a license and add it to ABBYY FineReader 11 License Manager, you must activate its serial number.

2) Create license p ools and add the nece ssary licenses to t he pools. A pool of licenses is a set of licenses or serial numbers of equal standing. License pools make working with licenses easier. For example, instead of reserving each license separately, you can add it into a pool and then reserve the pool for certain workstations.

3) Reserve the pools and license s for the appropriate workstat ions.

Before you install ABBYY FineReader 11 on the workstations, you must d istribute the licenses among the workstations, i.e. reserve them for the appropriate workstations by means of ABBYY FineReader 11 License Manager. Once a license is reserved for a workstation, only that workstation will be able to use the license.

Important! Reserve licenses and pools before you start installing ABBYY FineReader 11 on the workstations. To bind or unbind a workstation after ABBYY FineReader has been installed on it, you will need to remove the program from the workstation. To move a per–seat license from one workstation to another after ABBYY FineReader has been installed, you will need to deactiv ate the license. The number of allowed deactivations is limited.

For more information about license types and about working with ABBYY FineReader 11 License Manager, see the ABBYY FineReader 11 License Manager help file.
