Software 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:

  • the serial number of a Standalone Runtime License.

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.

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

The command line for your installation can look like this:

installRnt64.exe /quiet INSTALLDIR="C:\MyFolder"
    

This command line will install the library into C:\MyFolder in silent mode, without a progress bar.

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.

Activating the license:

After installing the library, you can find the License Manager Utility (LicenseManager.exe) in the Bin (for 32-bit operating system) or Bin64 (for 64-bit operating system) folder of your installation.

If your workstation has access to the Internet, run LicenseManager.exe with the following options to activate your license:

  • /SilentActivation
  • /SN:<serial number>
    The serial number of your Standalone Runtime License.
    Specify the serial number in one of the following formats: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX or XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.

The command line for your license activation can look like this:

LicenseManager.exe /SilentActivation /SN:XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX 
    

For other activation options (e.g., if your workstation does not have access to the Internet) see License activation.

Activating the license manually via the GUI is also possible. See License Manager Utility.
