Hi Hussein,

I can't.  Remote Access is included free with Window-Eyes.

All the best

OK, the remote access I can understand.  But charging to use a pro version
of the OS - half the time the features that make the OS pro are not ones
which the average joe blogs is going to use on a daily basis anyway!  And
often, machines with high tech specs will come with a Pro OS supplied.  So,
the user is penalised just for that?

Also, what is a pro OS now anyway?  One could say Vista Business or 7
Enterprise is a pro OS compared to Vista or 7 Home Premium, or is the pro
just for the top version of the OS, i.e. Ultimate?

It just allows you to use the "pro" versions of the OS. You can also buy 
add-ons like Remote Access and Tandem Direct, which, according to the 
documentation, cannot be bought using the standard license.
