Modules
The functionality of ABBYY FineReader Engine 12 is represented by a set of modules. Each module is a group of Engine functions. Some modules can be included in ABBYY FineReader Engine licenses as predefined modules and others as additional ones.
For additional licensing information, please contact the ABBYY office serving your region. You can find the list of ABBYY offices in the How to Buy section.
An ABBYY FineReader Engine 12 license allows you to process a certain number of pages or characters per period (for example, per month). This means that the user can process (analyze, recognize, or export to any format) no more pages/characters than is allowed by the user's license. The counter of pages is incremented by 1 when processing an A4 page or smaller. When processing a page which is n times larger than A4, the counter of pages will be incremented by n.

License-related errors
When an unavailable method is called, unsupported value is assigned to an object property or passed as an argument to an object method, the operation will fail, and the CLASS_E_NOTLICENSED error code will be returned.
When number of processed pages exceeds the value allowed by a limited modification, the analysis and recognition methods will fail, and the E_FAIL error code will be returned.
While no activated license is specified as current, only the StartLogging, StopLogging, SetCurrentLicense methods and the CurrentLicense and MultiProcessingParams properties of the Engine object are available. Other methods of the Engine object will return CLASS_E_NOTLICENSED error code.
