Kofax Capture Services
Kofax Capture Administrator's Guide

For each service, the maximum number of multiple instances allowed is four times the
number of physical processors on the computer.
To install multiple instances of a service, just repeat the installation procedure for that service.
An ID is automatically appended to the service name for each instance.
For example, to install three instances of the OCR Full Text service, you would repeat the
installation command-line sequence three times:
"<Kofax Capture installation folder>\Bin\ocr.exe" -install
"<Kofax Capture installation folder>\Bin\ocr.exe" -install
"<Kofax Capture installation folder>\Bin\ocr.exe" -install
Each multiple instance of the OCR Full Text service is assigned a unique instance ID.
To install multiple services with user profiles, use the same method of repeating the
command-line installation.
To remove multiple instances of a service, repeat the removal procedure for that service. For
example, to remove three instances of a service, repeat the removal procedure three times.
When multiple instances of a service are removed, the instance with the highest numbered
instance ID is removed first.
Note When multiple services of the same kind are run on the same computer, a single
concurrent Kofax Capture station license and Enterprise license are required. For example, a
user would need a single station license to run the OCR Full Text, OCR Full Text:2 and OCR
Full Text:3 services.
Remove Services
You can remove services at any time without affecting the standard Kofax Capture
installation. If you uninstall the standard Kofax Capture installation, you must remove the
services first.
To remove services, use a command-line argument to specify each service to uninstall. For
instance, to remove the Recognition Server service, use the following command:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Kofax\Capture\Bin\fp.exe" -uninstall
If you have multiple instances installed, you must repeat the uninstall command-line
sequence for each instance. When multiple instances of a service are removed, the instance
with the highest numbered instance ID is removed first.
If the User Profiles feature is selected, be aware of the following:
▪ When removing a service, you must include the applicable user ID and password
arguments with the uninstall command. These arguments are described in Installing a
Kofax Capture Service with User Profiles
.
▪ If you install a Kofax Capture Service with arguments for the user ID and password, and
then decide to turn off the User Profiles feature, you must do the following:
▪ Remove the Kofax Capture Service before you turn off the User Profiles feature. Be sure
to include the command-line arguments for user ID and password with the uninstall
command.
