Issue

When trying to activate FineReader on another computer or after OS reinstallation the following message occurs:

This serial number cannot be activated automatically

 

Cause

This message appears when the serial number of the program you're trying to activate was blocked. This can happen for several reasons:

  • The serial number was activated very frequently
  • The serial number was used for the program upgrade
  • As a result of a violation of the end-user license agreement

Resolution

    Having re-built my failing Windows 10 computer, I have been unable to use Abbyy FineReader 11 as it is failing to register because it is saying I am trying to use the product on too many computers.
     
    The serial number is of the form FPES-11xx-2xxx-xxxx-xxx9-9xx5
     
    Can you help, please?
