Personally I'd like to see the version number in the download filename. This helps ensure I know what the heck I'm downloading and installing. Example: ABBYY_FineReader_PDF_15.0.114.4683.exe
Are the corporate and standard FineReader install files the same?
Hi John,
Thank you for your suggestion regarding the name of distribution kit file! I have forwarded it to our R&D department.
We have different distribution kits for Standalone and Multi-user version. I will create a support ticket in order to process your question further.
Hi. I've just updated my FT12 to FR15 .
Should I delete the old installations of FR9 and FR12 now?
Hello bobR,
Every FineReader version works independently from others, so you can remove old versions from your PC using standard Windows methods. If you purchased FineReader 15 as upgrade then you can use the previous version only on the same PC (cannot install it on another one).
