[. . . ] Check that your system meets the minimum requirements for memory and disk space and be ready to decide a program location.

Serial numbers when upgrading from CSDK versions 10 or 11 When upgrading from these CSDK versions or any earlier ScanSoft SDK products, the old serial numbers cannot be re-used. [. . . ] If you do not see licenses, your previous license has not been detected. This would occur, for instance, if you re-installed your computer system during the shift from version 12 to 12. 5. In such cases, please return to the On-line Registration panel, enter your license codes again, supply other data as required and press Get Key. Activation troubleshooting · Online registration is the first choice offered by the License Manager. The license manager server is designed for 24/7 operation; however if your access is in order, try again later. · Check again that the serial number and license codes were entered correctly. · Proxy registration is available if online activation still fails. Make sure all required information is entered, then press the Save Proxy button. This saves the information to an LMX file you can submit to ScanSoft inside the web-based support system to be found under Products/Capture SDK/Support&Downloads. · Offline registration is offered in a separate panel, as a last resort. This presents information you must have to hand when you call the ScanSoft help line: the computer ID and a code entry number that defines your current License Manager session. You will also need the two license codes and a customer ID (or in its absence registration data). Type this into the space provided and press Enter. Please consult the Addendum. pdf or the web site if you need to migrate your Capture SDK to a different computer, or if you want to install the version 12. 5 on a different machine from the one version 12 was running on. The license activated by the Authorization and Product codes relates only to evaluation or development activities. The rights of end-users to use completed and distributed applications are covered by separate runtime licenses. For information on these, please consult the documentation or the ScanSoft web site. 3 Overview of the Capture SDK The Development Kit contains image management and recognition technologies for developing 32-bit Windows applications on Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4. 0, Windows 2000 and Window XP. The Development Toolkit is supplied in two variants: · The Professional OCR Kit with seven recognition modules for recognizing machine-generated texts, including E-13B (MICR), OCR-A and OCR-B. · The Professional Recognition Kit with additional modules for handprint (ICR), barcode and checkmark (OMR) recognition services. Both variants offer two interfaces: · The RECapi interface, providing over 200 entry points for C/C++ programmers. · The IPRO ActiveX interface, providing an object model with about 40 objects, offering nearly the same functionality as RECapi, with additional document management features. Some functionality is delivered through optional add-on programs. The first two are normally installed along with the Development Kit; the last one must be installed separately, after the main installation. · The Visual Toolbox works through IPRO and offers visual controls for easier development and running of applications providing image handling, zoning, text editing and proofing, thumbnail displays and scanner setting controls. · The PDF Output Kit produces output files in Adobe's Portable Document Format. · The Asian OCR provides recognition for Japanese, Korean, simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese. Evaluation packages include the full range of products and add-ons listed above, and can be used on a trial basis for a limited period (typically 35 days). See the printed documentation for a comprehensive summary of the Capture SDK packages and architecture. Getting Help The Readme files present the latest information and solutions to recently reported problems. [. . . ] You should then uninstall the evaluation program and install the purchased product. It is possible to transform an evaluation program into a permanent one, only if you purchase the full OmniPage Capture SDK package; that is the Professional Recognition Kit and all four add-ons. Uninstalling the product Go to the Windows control panel and select Add/Remove programs. Please remove any Add-on programs first, leaving the Development Kit to last. Be sure to keep your serial number and license codes in a safe place; you may need them to re-install the program or to install a further upgrade. [. . . ]
