Installing ABBYY FlexiCapture 10

Before purchasing the product, analyze your document processing needs and select either the local or the distributed version.
If you plan to process moderate amounts of documents (approximately 5,000 pages per day), employ one or two operators for the job, and do not require any sophisticated batch routing, then Standalone Installation is the best choice.
If you plan to automate data capture and processing, require sophisticated batch routing based on document or batch types, and need a scalable pool of centrally administered workstations, then select Distributed Installation.
Note: When inst tions systems, the UAC must be disabled before installation or the native administrator account must be used.
Important! The distributed and local versions cannot be installed on the same computer.
