  • or web access to https://activation.abbyy.com

Copy that file to /opt/systran/filter/plugins/abbyy/lib/, chown it to systran:systran.

Re-execute : ./LicenseManager.Console, choose "I already have activation file", then enter filename.


License is activated !

 

3) Final checks

Check activated license:

./LicenseManager.Console --listAvailableLicenses

The output should be the license number that you entered before. 

 

Ensure the license number is correct in the filter

vi /opt/systran/filter/plugins/abbyy/etc/plugin.cfg

license = $license_key_value

 

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.

 

 

Note 1:

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

 

Note 2:

If ABBYY license service is not started:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/systran/filter/plugins/abbyy/lib 
cd /opt/systran/filter/plugins/abbyy/lib
./LicensingService -start
