You can control the use of your knowledge bases by protecting them with a password. You may choose to do this if you share your knowledge base with other users.

You should select password protection when you create a knowledge base. An existing knowledge base can be password protected only if you recreate the knowledge base from the training set again. To enable a customer to use a password-protected knowledge base, create an activation code for the knowledge base. The customer needs to provide this activation code when the knowledge base is loaded into the project.

To receive an activation code for a knowledge base, a customer needs to provide the knowledge base owner with the serial number for his/her Kofax Capture hardware key or the software license. The knowledge base owner then uses either the Transformation Designer or Knowledge Base Administration to create an activation code for that Kofax serial number and return this activation code. Finally, the customer uses this code to unlock the knowledge base so that it can be used for production. Once a knowledge base is unlocked for a hardware key, it can be used for any number of projects.

For project development and testing purposes, customers can use a protected knowledge base in Transformation Designer or Knowledge Base Administration without restrictions. However, if they want to use a protected knowledge base during production, they need to obtain an activation code to unlock it.

You can protect a knowledge base in a project by following these steps:
