  • Use ABBYY FineReader Engine and License Server from the same package. Otherwise, compatibility is not guaranteed.
  • If your application uses the ABBYY internal converter for opening Office document formats, run ConfigureDcAooConverter.exe as administrator. This utility will unpack the OpenOffice4.exe file and put it into the correct folder, then configure the system registry and environment variables.
