Deploying ABBYY Lingvo x6 in a Network
ABBYY Lingvo x6 is deployed in three stages:
1. Creating an administrative installation point
a. Install ABBYY Lingvo x6 Licence Server and ABBYY Lingvo x6 Licence Manager.
See Installing the Licence Server and Licence Manager for detailed instructions
b. Create an administrative installation package for ABBYY Lingvo x6.
An administrative installation package is a copy of the ABBYY Lingvo x6 distribution files
located on the server which are further installed on the workstations.
See Creating an administrative installation package for detailed instructions
2. Managing the licences
A special application, ABBYY Lingvo x6 Licence Manager, is used for managing licences.
For the licences to be correctly distributed among the workstations when installing ABBYY Lingvo
x6, you must give certain workstations priority in obtaining certain licences. For this purpose,
reserve licences and pools of licences for certain workstations.
A pool of licences is a set of licences or serial numbers of equal standing. Licence pools
make working with licences easier. For example, instead of reserving each licence
separately, you can add it into a pool and then reserve the pool for certain workstations
(see Licence Pools).
For details, see Step 2. Managing Licences.
3. Installing ABBYY Lingvo x6 on the workstations
There are several ways to install ABBYY Lingvo x6 on the workstations. For details, see Step 3.
Installing ABBYY Lingvo x6 on Workstations.
When ABBYY Lingvo x6 is installed, per-seat licences are installed on the workstations and the
workstations are bound to the server, so that they can then obtain concurrent licences from the
server. The installation of the per-seat licences and the binding of workstations to the server is
done based on which pools and which licences are reserved for which stations. For details, see
Obtaining licences when installing ABBYY Lingvo x66.

Step 1. Creating an Administrative Installation
Point
Procedure
1. Install ABBYY Lingvo x6 Licenсe Server and ABBYY Lingvo x6 Licenсe Manager.
2. Create an administrative installation package.
Installing the Licence Server and Licence Manager
1. Run License Server\Setup.exe from the ABBYY Lingvo x6 disk.
2. Follow the instructions of the setup program.
During setup, you can:
― Create a new server and install ABBYY Lingvo x6 Licence Manager.
The Licence Server and Licence Manager will be installed on the computer from which they are
installed. You can change the path to the folder into which the Licence Manager is to be installed.
― Install only ABBYY Lingvo x6 Licence Manager and provide the name of the Licence Server
computer.
In this case you should indicate the folder where Licence Manager is to be installed and the name
of computer hosting the Licence Server.
Note: If more than one user will be managing the ABBYY Lingvo x6 licences:
― ABBYY Lingvo x6 Licence Manager must be installed on the computers of all of these users.
― Each of these users must be a member of one of the following local groups on the Licence Server
computer:
1. ABBYY Licensing Administrators
2. BUILTIN\Administrators

Note: You can disable user authorization in the file
%programfiles%\Common Files\ABBYY\Lingvo\16.0\Licensing\NetworkLicenseServer.ini
This file is located on the computer hosting the Licence Server. Add the following parameter to this file:
[Licensing]
EnableManagerAuthorization = false
The changes will take effect after you restart the system service ABBYY Lingvo x6 Licensing Service.
Once user authorization is disabled, any user on whose computer ABBYY Lingvo x6 Licence Manager is
installed will be able to manage the licences.
Creating an administrative installation package
1. Run AdminSetup.exe from the ABBYY Lingvo x6 disk.
2. Follow the instructions of the setup program.
During setup, specify:
― The full name or the NetBIOS name of the Licence Server computer.
― The path to the administrative installation share.
Note:
1. If the DNS server is inaccessible, we recommend using the NetBIOS name of the Licence Server
computer rather than its full name.
2. To find out the NetBIOS name of the computer, right-click on the My Computer icon and select
Properties. In the dialog box that appears, click the Computer Name and then click Change…. In the
window that appears, click More…. A new window will appear. The name of your computer will be
displayed in the NetBIOS computer name field.
3. You must have read and write permissions for the administrative installation share to perform the
installation.
4. Avoid moving the folder containing the administrative installation package after ABBYY Lingvo x6 has
been installed on the workstations.
