About ABBYY ScanTo Office Activation

Important! Activation is only required if you have purchased ABBYY ScanTo Office 1.0 via the Internet. A nonactivated copy of the product will run in trial mode.
About activation
ABBYY is concerned about software piracy and takes measures to protect its intellectual property rights. Software piracy is detrimental both to software manufacturers and end users. 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.
In ABBYY ScanTo Office, a special protection technology is used to protect ABBYY products from illegal copying and distribution. This technology effectively excludes unauthorized use of ABBYY products by persons who have not signed a License Agreement with the software copyright owner.
If your License Agreement allows you to install your copy of the software only on one PC, 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 Activate ABBYY ScanTo Office 1.0?
Activation takes very little time and is carried out with the help of an Activation Wizard that is built into the program. The Activation Wizard has a friendly interface and is used for sending the necessary activation information to ABBYY. The same wizard is used for
entering the Activation Code you receive from ABBYY during activation.
Activation information is sent as a code (Installation ID) which is generated on the basis of information about the computer on which the program is being installed. No personal information about the user or computer is used for generating this code and this code cannot be used for identifying the user.
Available activation methods:
• Via the Internet (recommended)
Activation is carried out automatically and takes only a few seconds. An Internet connection is required for this type of activation.
• By email
The user needs to send an email message generated by the program and containing information required for activation. To ensure a quick reply from the mail robot, do not alter the information in the message body or Subject field.
• By phone or fax
The user needs to phone the nearest ABBYY office or partner and communicate his Installation ID and serial number to the operator. In most countries, this operation can also be carried out by fax. The message containing the information required for activation will be generated automatically and all the user will need to do is print it out and send it by fax to the nearest ABBYY office or partner. In reply the user will receive an Activation Code that is used to activate the program.
In the case of activation via the Internet, the whole process is carried out automatically. In the case of activation by phone, fax, or email, the user needs to enter the Activation Code received from ABBYY in the corresponding fields of the Activation Wizard.
Once the activation is complete, the program can be used on the current computer without any restrictions.
ABBYY ScanTo Office can be reinstalled on one and the same computer an unlimited number of times without reactivation. However, if you make major upgrades, format your hard drive, or reinstall the operating system, an additional activation may be required.
Activation Privacy Policy
To enable the program to operate in fullfunction mode, you may need to activate the program. ABBYY asks that you activate your product to verify that your installation is done with a genuine ABBYY product. When you activate your product, no personal information will be sent to ABBYY. Activation may be completely anonymous.
