Hi Andrew, Thanks for those solutions. I'll talk with S&S on Monday. I don't really wish to upgrade to version 6 if I don't have to; let's just hope that the commercialpowers don't force me too. What's the USB dongle, and how does that work?

Use a USB floppy drive. 2. Speak to SNS about changing to the Internet based version ASAP, you may have to upgrade to V6 though. 3. Speak to SNS about getting a USB dongle for it. Hth, Andrew. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Colin Fowler Sent: 08 January 2005 12:52 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: data transfer from an old Desktop to a new laptop Hi Andrew, Thanks for that, guessed it wouldn't be that simple; after all it's JAWS. OK I can install the licence onto the laptop no problem, The difficulties arrive with the authorisation process. I've only got the auth keys on a floppy, and obviously the laptop has no 3.5 inch drive. What are the solutions with this?

Not sure of the rest of the spec because it won't arrive till Monday. What I want to know is can I use the data transfer wizard to transfer from an old Desktop running win200 and JFW 4.51 to my laptop running XP Pro? In particular, can I transfer the Jfw 4.51 onto the lap top in this manner without having to faf about with removing it first from the desktop saving the auth key, reinstalling it onto the laptop and reauthorising it? Thanks for anything on this Colin
