Activating OmniPage
You will be invited to activate the product at the end of installation. Please ensure that web
access is available. Provided your serial number is found at its storage location and has been
correctly entered, no user interaction is required and no personal information is transmitted. If
you do not activate the product at installation time, you will be invited to do this each time you
invoke the program. OmniPage 18 can be launched only a limited number of times without
activation. We recommend Automatic Activation.
Uninstalling the software
Sometimes uninstalling and then reinstalling OmniPage will solve a problem. The OmniPage
Uninstall program will not remove files containing recognition results or any of the following
user-created files:
Zone templates (*.zon)
Image enhancement templates (*.ipp)
Training files (*.otn)
User dictionaries (*.ud)
OmniPage Documents (*.opd)
Job files (*.opj)
Workflow files (*.xwf)
To uninstall you must be logged into your computer with administrator privileges.
To uninstall or reinstall OmniPage:
• Close OmniPage.
• Click Start in the Windows taskbar and choose the Control Panel and then Uninstall a
program (in earlier Windows versions: Add/Remove Programs).
• Select OmniPage and click Uninstall (in earlier Windows versions: Remove).
• Click Yes in the dialog box that appears to confirm removal.
• Select Yes to restart your computer immediately, or No if you plan to restart later.

When you uninstall OmniPage, the link to your scanner is also uninstalled. You must setup your
scanner again with OmniPage if you reinstall the program. All RealSpeak
®

installed with the program will also be uninstalled. With OmniPage 18 Professional, Nuance
PDF Create 7 and PaperPort must be uninstalled separately.
