Looks good. The reg process required *no* uniquely identifiable info on
the first round. Don't know about the second round. After successful
reg-key entry and completion of installation, it took me to a page that
said something to the effect of "registration is required for legal
use." Then it too me to: http://registration.abbyy.com/
Where it deftly lists all the OCR packages available for registration.
Oddly, 4.0 isn't there.

Apart from all of that...I've a bit of a problem. The scanner to which
I've access is networked. It's a Brother 3220CN ([OT] not recommended
btw). Abbyy detects it but <yawns> when I try to scan.
Will report back. Thanks for the heads-up on this package!
