OCR licenses

OCR codes in CONTENTdm Project Client 7.x are not compatible with OCR codes in versions 6.1.2.991 or earlier. If you use the built-in OCR workflow in Project Client, please upgrade to this version of Project Client as soon as possible. You will also need to request a new license key for the OCR unit included in your CONTENTdm Annual Services Package.

OCR licenses are now easier to re-activate on new workstations. To move an OCR license to another workstation, first de-activate your OCR license within the Project Client. Then, re-activate using the same license code on the new installation of Project Client. If you forget or unable to de-activate your OCR license from the previous installation, you will need to contact OCLC Support to get it reset by our OCR vendor, ABBYY FineReader, which may take up to 5 business days.
