Managing Licenses
General
ABBYY Lingvo x3 License Manager is a utility specifically designed for managing ABBYY Lingvo x3
licenses. The License Manager is installed on the License Administrator Station when deploying the
program in a local area network. For more information about deploying ABBYY Lingvo x3 in a LAN, see
Creating Administrative installation.
The ABBYY Lingvo x3 License Manager allows you to:
— Add and
— Assign licenses to particular workstations
— Use pools for more effective license control
— Obtain information about the parameters of your licenses
— Update license statuses.
License Types and Statuses
There are two types of license: Concurrent and Per Seat.
activate licenses
Concurrent
Concurrent license is installed and activated on the server by the administrator using ABBYY Lingvo x3
License Manager utility. During ABBYY Lingvo x3 installation on the workstation, a link to the server can

server. If there are suitable Concurrent licenses on the server at that moment, ABBYY Lingvo x3 «takes»
them (for details, see
During work, ABBYY Lingvo x3 maintains the connection with the server; therefore, it is not recommended
to install Concurrent licenses on workstations with hindered connection to the server or on portable
workstations (laptops).
When ABBYY Lingvo x3 is closed down, the license is released. If there are no free Concurrent licenses
on the server, the program will issue a corresponding warning message.
Note: In the case of Concurrent licenses, the total number of ABBYY Lingvo x3 copies that can be run
simultaneously cannot exceed the number of available Concurrent licenses. However, the number of
installed copies can be greater than the number of available concurrent licenses.
Concurrent license statuses

— Free
The license is free, i.e. it is not being used by any workstation.
— Reserved for
The license has been assigned to a workstation but is not currently being used by that
workstation.
— Running on
The license has been assigned to a particular workstation and is being used by that workstation.
Obtaining Licenses during ABBYY Lingvo x3
Per Seat
Important!
Activate Per Seat license before installing ABBYY Lingvo with the Per Seat license on the computer!
Per Seat licenses are installed and activated on the server using ABBYY Lingvo x3 License Manager
utility. When ABBYY Lingvo x3 is installed on a workstation, the Per Seat license is bound to the
workstation as a result of activation. Once the program has been activated, it will not address the server in
order to obtain a license. This means that ABBYY Lingvo x3 operate autonomously on the workstation.
Note. The total number of the copies of the ABBYY Lingvo x3 program in the local area network cannot
exceed the number of licenses. Several Per Seat licenses can be installed on one workstation.
Important! When you activate a license on a workstation, the ABBYY Lingvo x3 Licensing Service
system service accesses registration2.abbyy.com via port 80. If the security policy of your company
20
ABBYY Lingvo x3
System Administrator’s Guide
does not allow accessing this address via port 80, you must activate ABBYY Lingvo x3 manually when
launching it on workstations for the first time.
Per Seat license statuses
— Free

License Pools
Pool is a number of equal licenses (serial numbers).
There are two types of pools: Concurrent Pools may contain only Concurrent licenses, and Per Seat
Pools may contain only Per Seat licenses. The pool type may be set when creating the pool.
Each license belongs to a pool.
Pools are created and managed by the administrator, and also created automatically for each added
license.
Unlike separate license, pools can be assigned to more than one workstation.
How Workstations Obtain Licenses
License Priority in the Per Seat Pool
When addressing the Per Seat Pool, the workstation receives a license with the highest priority from it.
The list of the Per Seat licenses, by decreasing the priority, for the given workstation:
1. License
2. License installed on the given workstation.
3. License assigned to the given workstation.
4. Available (not assigned to any workstation) license.
Obtaining Licenses during ABBYY Lingvo x3 Installation
During ABBYY Lingvo x3 installation on the workstation, a link to the server is created for obtaining
Concurrent licenses (if certain conditions are met; see below), and the obtaining and activation (bounding
to the workstation) of the Per Seat licenses occurs.
Note. The obtaining of Concurrent licenses occurs during the startup of ABBYY Lingvo x3 under condition
that a link to the server was created during the setup.
Note. If at the moment of obtaining the license by the workstation the activation cannot be performed (for
example, due to absence of the Internet connection), during the first startup of ABBYY Lingvo x3 on the
workstation, a dialog box with a suggestion to activate the license will appear.
How workstation obtains a license:
1. One license is assigned from each Per Seat pool assigned to the given workstation or containing the
license assigned to the given workstation (if there are such pools).
If a license cannot be obtained from the relevat pool, an error occurs and the process of obtaining the
license stops.

21
ABBYY Lingvo x3
System Administrator’s Guide
2. If there is at least one Concurrent pool assigned to the given workstation or containing the license
assigned to the given workstation, a link to the server is created (for obtaining Concurrent licenses).
If at least 1 pool was found at Step 1, or if Step 2 was completed successfully, the process of obtaining
the liceses is completed (further steps are not necessary to complete).
3. It is verified if there is at least one available (not assigned to any workstation) Concurrent pool
containing at least one available license.
If there is, a link to the server is created (for obtaining Concurrent licenses) and the process is
completed.
4. If no suitable Concurrent pool was found at Step 3, one license is given from each available (not
receserved for any workstation) Per Seat pool containing licenses not assigned to this workstation and
among them there is at least one available license.
5. If no suitable Concurrent pool was found at Step 4, a link to the server is created, and during the first
startup of ABBYY Lingvo x3 on the workstation the procedure for obtaining the license is repeated.
License Priority in the Concurrent Pool
When addressing the Concurrent Pool, the workstation receives a license with the highest priority from it.
The list of the Concurrent licenses, by decreasing the priority, for the given workstation:
1. License assigned to the given workstation.
2. Available (not assigned to any workstation) license.
Obtaining Concurrent Licenses during ABBYY Lingvo x3 Installation
Concurrent licenses are obtained at the moment of ABBYY Lingvo x3 startup on the workstation and
only under condition that at the moment of ABBYY Lingvo x3 installation on the workstation a link
to the server was created (i.е. Step 2 or 3 was completed successfully during the obtaining of the
licenses).
How workstation obtains a Concurrent license:
1. One license is assigned from each Per Seat Pool assigned to the given workstation or containing the

Adding and activating a license
ABBYY is concerned about software piracy and takes measures to protect its intellectual property rights.
Software piracy is detrimental to software manufacturers and to end users alike. When buying a legal
software copy, users can be sure that they obtain a quality product without any changes or alterations
introduced by a third party. Illegal products are never safe.
If the License Agreement allows you to install and use your copy of the software only on one personal
computer, any additional installations of the same copy on other PCs will constitute a breach of the
License Agreement as well as of the copyright law of the Russian Federation and international copyright
law. The activation technology controls the number of copies and prevents the installation of one licensed
copy on an unlimited number of workstations. At the same time, the number of installations and activations
on one and the same PC is not limited in any way whatsoever.

How to Distribute Concurrent and Per Seat Licenses among Stationary and Portable Workstations
Suppose, there are two sets of licenses: Per Seat licenses and Concurrent licenses. It is required to
distribute the licenses among stationary wokstations and portable workstations (laptops).
On portable workstations, a link to the server should not be installed for obtaining Concurrent licenses as
to use Concurrent licenses, stable connection with the server is required.
Thus, on portable workstations, it is necessary to install Per Seat licenses. To do this, before intalling
ABBYY Lingvo x3 on workstations, it is required to create and assign Per Seat pools for portable
workstations.
1. Create Administrative Installation (for details, see
2. Add Concurrent and Per Seat licenses to ABBYY Lingvo x3 License Manager (for details, see
Managing Licenses).
3. Create two pools: Per Seat pool and Concurrent pool. In the Per Seat pool, add Per Seat licenses and
in the Concurrent pool – Concurrent licenses.
4. Assign the Per Seat pool to portable workstations, and the Concurrent pool – to stationary
workstations.
5. Install ABBYY Lingvo x3 on the workstations (for details, see
Workstations).
Let us consider how licenses are distributed among workstations during the installation (for details, see
Obtaining Licenses during ABBYY Lingvo x3 Installation).
Step 1
Per Seat licenses can be installed on portable workstations, as the Per Seat pool is assigned to portable
workstations.
Per Seat licenses will not be installed on stationary workstations.
Step 2
Links to the server will not be created on the portable workstations, as the Concurrent pool is assigned to
other workstations – stationary. Therefore, at the startup of ABBYY Lingvo x3 on a portable workstations,
there will be no inquiry sent to the server for the Concurrent licenses.
Links to the server will be created on the statioary workstations, as the Concurrent pool is assigned to
them. At each startup of ABBYY Lingvo x3, there will be an inquiry sent to the server for the Concurrent
licenses and obtaining suitable licenses (for details, see
Lingvo x3 installation)
Creating Administrative Installation).

This completes obtaining licenses during the installation, as for each workstation one of the two steps has
been completed successfully.
Note. If you need to install Per Seat licenses on laptops, and Concurrent licenses – on stationary
computers when there are only two pools (Per Seat and Concurrent), it is sufficient to assign only one of
the pools. The licenses will be distributed correctly (for details, see
Obtaining Licenses during ABBYY
Lingvo x3 Installation). When there is a great number of pools and user groups, it is recommended to
assign all the pools.
