Network Capabilities of ABBYY FineReader Corporate Edition
● Network installation. FineReader Corporate Edition supports installation
from servers to workstations using Active Directory, Microsoft Systems
Management Server, and the command line.
● Support for multi–functional devices, including network MFPs. MFPs
that combine the functionality of a scanner, printer, copier and fax are
becoming increasingly popular.
ABBYY FineReader works with such devices when they are connected to a
workstation or a network. Special program settings allow users to open and
recognize scanned images automatically from anywhere in the network or
from an FTP server.
● Multiple corporate licensing program. In addition to the concurrent
licensing program, ABBYY offers multiple corporate licensing. Choose the
licensing policy that best suits your needs.
● License Manager. This utility manages licenses in a network environment.
This feature allows administrators to monitor the usage of ABBYY FineReader
Corporate Edition on workstations, assign licenses to particular workstations,
and add new licenses.
Refer to the “System Administrator’s Guide” in the Administrator’s Guide folder (located on the
server where ABBYY FineReader is installed) for more information about installing ABBYY
FineReader on workstations, working with the License Manager, and working with the pro
gram in a local area network.
