Installing Developer License on the Developer Computer

For successful use of the SDK, the first step after installation is developer license download & activation using the NCLT. This is a one-time operation. Depending on whether you have internet connection on the target computer (i.e. the developer machine), you can choose one of the following options.

Tip: You can test if the target computer can connect to the Nuance License Server through the internet. Using the Nuance Central Licensing Tool (NCLT), navigate to Tools > Configuration select the Proxy tab and then click Test.

  1. If the pop-up dialog shows Test connection to Nuance Activation Server succeeded, you can use the first option (Download & Activation with internet connection).
  2. In case of connection failure, you always have a choice to jump to the second option (Download & Activation without internet connection). However, if you are sure that you have internet connection on the target computer, check with your network administrator whether there is a proxy server on your LAN. You may have to configure NCLT for use of proxy: Start NCLT, navigate to Tools > Configuration... > select the Proxy tab and enter your proxy information. To test, click the Test button.If the test is successful, click OK.

Download and Activation with Internet Connection

If you have internet access on your developer machine, you can perform on-line activation right through the NCLT:

  1. Launch NCLT (Start menu: All Programs > Nuance > Licensing). This initiates interaction with the NCLS and displays the results in the status line. If communication with NCLS is successful, then NCLT displays the licenses found in the license store.
  2. Download the license files using NCLT (File > Download). Copy and paste the License key from the fulfillment email received from Nuance to the dialog box.
  3. If you have already downloaded the license(s) to this machine through the NCLT, select it/them. Hint: You can use multiple selection (Ctrl + Left-mouse click)
  4. Go to Functions and click Activate.
  5. After the successful activation, the Activation Date displays the relevant data. Expiration Date is only filled in if your license is a temporary or a term based one.

Download and Activation without Internet Connection

If your development computer does not have an internet connection, license download and activation can be performed manually. To do this, use a computer with internet connection and proceed as follows:

  1. Go to the following link: http://licenses.nuance.com/csdkactivation/download.aspx
  2. Enter your license key(s) and download the license file(s).
  3. Move your downloaded license file(s) to the target developer computer (the one where you have installed Nuance OmniPage Capture SDK).
  4. Run Nuance Central Licensing Tool (NCLT) on the target computer (Start > All Programs > Nuance > Licensing > Nuance Central Licensing Tool).
  5. Load each license file separately with the File > Load… menu command.
  6. Use the File > Prepare for Manual Activation… menu command to save your licenses in a .zip file.
  7. Move your saved file back to the other computer with Internet connection.
  8. Go to the following link: http://licenses.nuance.com/csdkactivation
  9. Follow the instructions on that web page.
  10. Download/Save the received .lcxz file to a portable media and move it to the target computer.
  11. Run NCLT on the target computer again.
  12. Import the license set with the File > Load… menu command.
  13. As a result you should see your license(s) in the Licenses window of NCLT. The activation date(s) should be filled in.

Once you have downloaded and activated all your developer license keys you can check your licensed features and the statuses of your installed licenses at any time using the Nuance Central Licensing Tool.
