Hi Andrew,
I was under the impression that it returns a token to the FS server, but I
could be wrong. I've just red through the Jaws help files and couldn't find
anything about returning a token to the FS server to be honest. It has info
about how to remove your license code though. In any case it won't do any
harm, so maybe Andy would be adventurous to try it and report back? Over to
you, Andy!
Cheers,
Amro
