Hardware protection

In this scenario, you are installing your application which uses ABBYY FineReader Engine library on a local workstation via the command line, without any interaction with the user. You will need:

  • a USB dongle containing the parameters of your hardware protection key.

Installing the library on the workstation:

Run the installRnt32.exe (for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows) or installRnt64.exe (for 64-bit version of Windows) file from the distribution package with the following options:

    • /quiet (or /passive if you want a progress bar to be displayed)
    • INSTALLDIR="<destination path>"
      The path to the folder where the ABBYY FineReader Engine library will be installed.
    • WIBUDR=Yes
      This option installs the Wibu CodeMeter hardware key drivers.

Note: For additional command-line options, see Command line installation options.

The command line for your installation can look like this:

installRnt64.exe /passive INSTALLDIR="C:\MyFolder" WIBUDR="YES"
    

This command line will install the library into C:\MyFolder in silent mode. A progress bar will be displayed.

Important! If you don't use "RegisterCOM=No" in your command line, please check the correctness of the path to FREngine.dll in the registry on the workstation before launching your application. Consider the same check for the OfficeConverters and Visual Components modules in case of their installation. If there are errors in the paths, repeat the procedure of registration.

Connecting the hardware protection key:

Connect the hardware connection key to the USB port of the workstation. License activation is not required. Now your application can use ABBYY FineReader Engine library while the key is connected, and you can view the license details in the License Manager.
