ABBYY FineReader Engine 11 - Release 3 and higher
The use of Wibu-Systems’ CmDongles is supported in ABBYY FineReader Engine 11 for Windows and Linux since Release 3 and is as of now the standard hardware protection key. As the CodeMeter runtime library is already included in the ABBYY FineReader Engine 11, the licence can be easily activated via the ABBYY Licence Manager. If you already use another type of CmDongle from Wibu-Systems, please check below for its compatibility with ABBYY FineReader Engine 11. If the dongle is listed, it can be used as a hardware key. In this case you do not need to order the CmStick from us and can use your own CmDongle, into which you insert the appropriate serial number and activate it yourself. Release 3 and higher support both CmSticks and iKeys. On request the iKey licence key can still be delivered (as long as supplies last).
ABBYY FineReader Engine 11 - Release 2 and lowerRelease 2 and lower of ABBYY FineReader Engine 11 support only iKeys. Customers needing licences for older versions will continue to receive iKey dongles as hardware protection. As the availability of iKey dongles might be restrained in the future, we recommend upgrading to Release 3 to ensure compatibility with CmDongles and thus availability of hardware protection keys. If you have a Software Maintenance contract in place, you will receive the new release free of any additional charge.
