Installing the Optical Character Recognition Module

The Coveo Enterprise Search (CES) Optical Character Recognition (OCR) module is optional (see OCR Module). You must install the module separately from CES.

When you purchased the OCR module, your CES license includes authorization for the module. You will need the CES license file that you received by email to complete the installation of the OCR module.

   2. Using a text editor, open the Coveo Enterprise Search License Code.txt file attached to the email message.
