After you install the server components, the License Manager utility and the Administration and Monitoring Console will be started automatically. In the License Manager, click the Activate License… button to activate your serial number (see the Activate a license section for detailed instructions). The Administration and Monitoring Console is where you set up ABBYY FlexiCapture.
If you see an error message in the Administration and Monitoring Console, open the IIS Manager console (click Start → Control Panel → Administrative Tools → Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager). If the server is stopped, select Start on the Manage Server menu. In a similar fashion, check that Default Web Site is running.
