About ABBYY FineReader Activation
Software piracy hurts software manufacturers and end users alikeusing an illegal product is
never safe.Legal software ensures that third party companies cannot introduce detrimental
code changes. ABBYY makes every effort to protect its intellectual property rights and the
security of its customer through a variety of antipiracy measures.
ABBYY FineReader 7.0 incorporates a specialized activation technology that prohibits illegal
copying and distribution of the software. This technology effectively stops the unauthorized
use of ABBYY products by those who have not signed a License Agreement with ABBYY.
A singleuser License Agreement allows for installation on a single PC. Installation of the soft
ware on additional PCs breaches the License Agreement, as well as international copyright
laws. The activation technology controls copying of the software and prevents the installation
of a licensed copy on multiple workstations. At the same time, the technology allows the soft
ware to be reinstalled on the licensed PC as often as necessary.
Depending on the product version and territory of distribution, the functionality of the soft
ware may be limited in the following ways:
● the program cannot save or print recognized Cyrillic texts
(ABBYY FineReader 7.0 Professional Edition);
●
the program cannot save or print recognized text in any language
(ABBYY FineReader 7.0 Professional Edition);
●
the program will not function prior to activation
(ABBYY FineReader 7.0 Corporate Edition).
