Installation
- Insert the USB hardware key.
- Locate the most recent installer disks in the white Prime Recognition binder,
and run them in the follwoing order.
(The asterisks are wild card characters for the latest version numbers.)
- PrimeOCR_4*.exe, the main program.
- PrimeOCR_Languages*.exe, for nine non-English Northern- and Western-European languages.
- Navigate to C:\Predv\bin, open the PRIMEOCR.INI file in a text editor, and make sure that ChangeNTErrorReporting is set to 1.
After that, in order for non-Administrator users to run these programs, you must make these changes to the Windows registry:
- Set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows\ErrorMode to 2.
- Set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug\Debugger to null/blank.
- Bonus Round 1 for Windows XP or Server 2003: Set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting\DoReport to 0.
- Bonus Round 2 for Windows XP or Server 2003: Set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting\ShowUI to 0.
Security Code
Now that the software is installed, you must get a security code from the vendor to complete the licensing.
- Navigate to C:\Predv\bin, and run prlicense.exe.
- Click Generate File.
- That creates a new file in that folder called prlicense.log.
- Create an email message to Prime Recognition asking for a new security code, and attach that log file or paste its contents into the message.
- The vendor should reply with an archive file named UpdthwkeyUFLb.zip.
- Extract it to C:\Predv\bin, and run the EXE file.
- When you get the security code, run prlicense.exe again, and paste the code into the Enter Security Code from Prime box.
