Welcome to Kofax eCopy ShareScan

In the Administration Console, all system functions are available on the Ribbon and there are separate tabs for configuring services, connectors and devices. System functions are available on the Home tab and the Advanced tab.

The Home tab contains the most frequently used functions in seven panes:

The Advanced tab contains less frequently used functions:

  • You have to specify a valid 22 character long license key during product installation. When the Administration Console is started for the first time, it opens a dialog box offering license installation (license represented by the license key entered into the installer Wizard screen). If you click OK on this dialog box, the application tries to download the license from the license server, and install it (this is successful only if the computer running the Administration Console has a working Internet connection). This functionality runs only once.
  • If the download fails for any reason, you must add or import the license manually as described in the Licensing Wizard section.
  • When the Administration Console is started, the system checks to see if the IP address associated with the ShareScan Manager still exists in the registry. If this is not the case, an error message is displayed, and you have the option to update the IP address (this starts the services, but you have to reconfigure the clients), or you can close the Administration Console.
  • The COM registration of connectors and extenders is deprecated in version 6.0 and higher of eCopy ShareScan, since the application uses a different method to identify connectors and extenders. The old mechanism is only preserved for third-party connectors and to ensure compatibility.
