An evaluation installation needs three things before you can demonstrate it: a database, a running Processing Server, and a project on the server.

​
Create the database

Use an account with administrative privileges, in one of these ways:
  • Click Start → All programs → ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 Servers → Administration and Monitoring Console.

​
Upload a project to the server

Upload the project to the server

Click File → Upload Project to Server… and enter the Application Server address as https://localhost.If the two are on different computers, use https://<ApplicationServer>. Replace <ApplicationServer> with the computer running the Application Server.
4

Authenticate against the server
