ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 can be installed on the same computer where ABBYY FlexiCapture 10 or 11 is already installed. You cannot use the setup wizard to upgrade your ABBYY FlexiCapture 10 or 11 to version 12. You cannot use your ABBYY FlexiCapture 10 and 11 serial numbers to run ABBYY FlexiCapture 12. You can use ABBYY FlexiCapture and ABBYY FlexiLayout projects and FlexiLayouts created in earlier versions of the program.
Prior to migrating to ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 be sure to either complete the processing of any documents already loaded into the system, or delete any such documents. When you open an ABBYY FlexiCapture or ABBYY FlexiLayout project created in an earlier version of the program, it will be converted to the ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 format. Once a project is converted, it can no longer be opened in earlier versions.
After you install ABBYY FlexiCapture 12, it will become the default application for all FlexiCapture and FlexiLayout Studio projects (*.fcproj and *.fsp files respectively), even if ABBYY FlexiCapture 11 or 10 is installed on your computer. To open a project in ABBYY FlexiCapture 11 or 10, launch ABBYY FlexiCapture or ABBYY FlexiLayout Studio via the Windows Start menu and click File → Open Project….
