I cannot log in to SprintPlus (installation version)

Do you start up SprintPlus and don’t get the option to log in? For example, you get a gray screen or a screen to activate your license.
Probably something went wrong during the installation. You may have selected the wrong security. You can easily change this via our Setprotection.

  1. Make sure everything from SprintPlus is closed (including Word).
  2. You can find Setprotection in the Windows Explorer under
    C:\Program Files (x86)\SprintPlus 3
  3. In this, set the security to Web License, as shown in the image below, and click ok.

When you restart SprintPlus after this you should normally get the option to log in again.

Pdf will not be read

Probably you have opened a photo pdf. No text is present in such a pdf document. You may then also get the following message: “No text was found in this document. Please apply OCR to have this document read aloud.” In the installation version of SprintPlus, you can check whether or not text is present in the document. To do this, you can use the keyboard’s F7 function key. After pressing F7, colored boxes will appear around all characters (letters, numbers) in the document. If no boxes appear, no text is present in the document. Press F7 again to remove the frames. If no text is present in the document, you must use an OCR program to convert the picture PDF to a text PDF. For SprintPlus (installation version), you can use the integrated OCR program. This may already be activated for your license, if not the OCR module can still be purchased.
