Network license
In this scenario, you are installing your application that uses ABBYY FineReader Engine library on a workstation connected to the license server through a network via the interactive command line installer.
You will need:
- an Online License token file (named like SWRTXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.ABBYY.ActivationToken).
- the password to the license token file.
- the DNS name or IP-address of the license server.
Follow the instructions:
- Install the Licensing Service on the license server, as described in Installing the Licensing Service.
Use ABBYY FineReader Engine and Licensing Service from the same package. Otherwise, compatibility is not guaranteed.
- Install the library on the workstations:
Run the %archive_name%.sh under ROOT without passing arguments and follow the wizard's instructions:
- Read the Runtime License Agreement and confirm your possession of a Runtime License.
- Specify the path to the folder where the ABBYY FineReader Engine library will be installed.
- Select the Runtime installation option.
- Select the Remote server option.
- Specify IP-address of the license server with the Licensing Service installed.
- Specify the full path and the password to the Online License token file.
- Wait for installation to complete.
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.
- Port 3023 must be opened on the license server for its connection to the workstations. The only supported connection protocol is Sockets.
- GoDaddy root certificate should be installed on the license server with the Licensing Service installed. See the detailed information about the certificate on the GoDaddy website.
