3) Final checks
Check activated license:

Restart the filter by going on the web interface in "Advanced configuration" and
put the instances number to 0 then reset the previous number of instances.

It could be usefull to limit ABBYY RAM usage by limiting number of process in RAM (will also reduce OCR speed). You can do that by adding /opt/systran/filter/plugins/abbyy/etc/plugin.cfg
max_recognition_processes_count = 4
