Why is activation necessary? Activation is a very simple procedure to confirm that your copy of ABBYY Lingvo is used in compliance with the End-User Licence Agreement.
The End-User Licence Agreement states the number of computers on which ABBYY Lingvo may be installed. Installing ABBYY Lingvo on more computers will breach the terms of the EULA.
Activation procedure Once you have installed ABBYY Lingvo on your server, you must run the Licence Manager utility and activate at least one of the available licences. Then you can start installing ABBYY Lingvo from the server on the workstations. A copy of the application installed from the server on a workstation does not require additional activation and will run in full mode.
