Question

How to set up license for ABBYY FineReader Engine 12 for Linux?

Answer

FineReader Engine 12 is distributed with different types of licenses. Different types of licenses require different information being provided. License info can be passed both during installation and after it using activatefre.sh script. Samples for each license type are listed below.

Passing license info during the installation using FRE12.sh script

  • Online License
    FRE12.sh -- \
    ...
    --license-path "<path_to_the_folder_with_license_token>"\
    --license-password "<license_password>" \
    --skip-local-license-activation

    Note: Online license unlike others does not require activation.

  • Software License 
    FRE12.sh -- \
    ...
    --serial-number "<license_serial_number>" \
    --project-id "<project_id>"
  • Open License 
    FRE12.sh -- \
    ...
    --license-path "<path_to_the_folder_with_license_token>"\
    --license-password "<license_password>"

Passing license info using activatefre.sh script

activatefre.sh script can be found in the folder where FineReader Engine 12 is installed. By default, it is /opt/ABBYY/FREngine12.

  • Online license: 
    /opt/ABBYY/FREngine12/./activatefre.sh 
    --license-path "<path_to_the_folder_with_license_token>"\
    --license-password "<license_password>" \
    --skip-local-license-activation
  • Software license: 
    /opt/ABBYY/FREngine12/./activatefre.sh
    --serial-number "<license_serial_number>" \
    --project-id "<project_id>"
  • Open license: 
    /opt/ABBYY/FREngine12/./activatefre.sh
    --license-path "<path_to_the_folder_with_license_token>"\
    --license-password "<license_password>"

    The online license activation after installation by using

    /opt/ABBYY/FREngine12/./activatefre.sh 
    --license-path "<path_to_the_folder_with_license_token>"\
    --license-password "<license_password>" \
    --skip-local-license-activation

    does not work. First of all, the script complains about the missing "--licenses-folder" argument. When this is given, the script runs trough, but the license manager still does not know the license and no example is working afterwards.
