How to configure FineReader Engine licensing settings to use a Network License

Edited March 04, 2020 10:22

Here is an example showing simple LicensingSettings.xml files for a network installation: a file for workstations and a file for a server. Licensing Service is located on the computer with the "ServerMachine" name. The TCP/IP protocol is used for communication between the server and workstations.

On the Workstation

Change the LicensingSettings.xml file located at the Bin or Bin64 subfolder of the FineReader Engine installation folder:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LicensingSettings xmlns="http://www.abbyy.com/Protection/LicensingSettings">
	<LicensingServers>
		<MainNetworkLicenseServer ServerAddress="ServerMachine" ProtocolType="TCP/IP" />
	</LicensingServers>
</LicensingSettings>

On the Server

Change the LicensingSettings.xml file located at the folder:

%CommonProgramFiles(x86)%\ABBYY\SDK\XX\Licensing\ for 64-bit operating system

%CommonProgramFiles%\ABBYY\SDK\XX\Licensing\ for 32-bit operating system,

where XX - is the version of FineReader Engine version:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LicensingSettings xmlns="http://www.abbyy.com/Protection/LicensingSettings">
	<LocalLicenseServer>
		<ConnectionProtocol ProtocolType="TCP/IP" />
	</LocalLicenseServer>
</LicensingSettings>
