Standalone license

In this scenario, you are installing your application that uses ABBYY FineReader Engine library and to be deployed to a cloud instance, private virtual machine, or a local workstation, by manually copying the files.

You will need:

  • an Online License token file (named like SWRTXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.ABBYY.ActivationToken).
  • the password to the license token file.

Follow the instructions:

  1. Unpack the %archive_name%.sh with the --target and --noexec options. The example of command line:
%archive_name%.sh --noexec --target <where to unpack>
    
  1. Copy the following files:
    • Files for the functioning of the modules that your application will support.
    • Files marked as “mandatory” in ABBYY FineReader Engine Distribution Kit section in Developer's Help. They are system modules and main recognition databases.
    • Resource files for interface languages that will be used in your application.
    • Dictionary support files for recognition languages that your application will support. If the recognition languages include languages with the Latin alphabet, make sure that you copy the Univers.amd and Univers.amm files.
    • The License Manager utility (LicenseManager.Console, libProtectionConsoleUI.so).

Note: You can use the FREngineDistribution.csv file to automatically create a list of files required for your application to function.

  1. Create a folder for storing the licensing data (default is /var/lib/ABBYY/SDK/12/Licenses). Everyone should have full access permissions on it. To change this folder, see an example described in Working with the LicensingSettings.xml File article.
  2. Install the Licensing Service, as described in Installing the Licensing Service.

Important! Do not copy the libProtection.Developer.so on your workstation. It is a protection library used for the developer installation.

  1. Launch the License Manager Utility and check your license details.

An Online License does not need activation: license information is received at the application run-time from ABBYY Online licensing services. To authorize, the application sends a license token file and a license password. You will need to place the token file where it is expected by the application. This location must be specified by the developer (default is /var/lib/ABBYY/SDK/12/Licenses).

Note that:

  • Internet connection is required when the application is running.
  • Connections to *.abbyy.com on port 443 (HTTPS) are allowed. If the connection is lost, the application will stop functioning after a certain reconnection timeout is exceeded. The synchronization period and the reconnection timeout are specific parameters of each Online License.
  • GoDaddy root certificate should be installed. See the detailed information about the certificate on the GoDaddy website.
