Hi Kirsten, The Check for updates feature was introduced with JAWS version 7.10 and upward. You can double check what version you're running by clicking the About icon from the JAWS contexts menu. Users of JAWS 7.0 and downward download JAWS updates from the Freedom Scientific website. Whether users of version 7.10 will be able to update to version 8 using the JAWS automatic update feature, I don't know. But don't worry, keep an eye on this list or the JAWS emailing list and you'll see hundreds of emails about updating when the time comes! In any case, you should get a CD through the post from your dealer when a newer version of JFW is released as your licence includes two major updates.

How does it happen, does the company just contact me? or do I do the updates myself from the computer? if so, how do I do this? I thought I read something about this from George Belle the other day .. Thanks.
