Honestly, I couldn't remember the name of the company, I'd buried it.
Let's see . . . oh yeah, Omnipage.
The activation was painful, too, involving a key server and a few cut-and-paste operations that were easy to get wrong.
I haven't needed to do any OCR in the last couple of years, but I'm sure I'll investigate other options than Omnipage before I'll use their products again.
I'm happy to buy software. But I have to be able to use it indefinitely, without activations (which depend on companies still being around) or time-limited licenses that are just designed to fuel an upgrade pump. I don't insist on source code or freedom, just quality. I'm not on a holy mission, I just won't buy software on bad terms.
