[jaws-uk] Re: Activation

Hi George et al

I'm pretty sure if FS aren't already aware of this we will make them aware 
of the sensitive nature of the system.  The problem in essence is producing 
the code that allows a system to accept that a small degree of change should 
not necessarily re-trigger the activation process but yet is stilll 
usefullly secure.  This is something that is quite difficult to do so I 
understand.

Hi Gordon,

If moving a PCI card from one slot to another results in it
being necessary to re-activate, then this is something
Freedom Scientific must be made aware of.  [Tristram - are
you listening?]  Clearly the process is too sensitive.  I'm
even a little surprised at the report of a memory upgrade
requiring this.

As regards loosing installs, I doubt you will get an
arguement here.  My suggestion would be to simply drop S&S
and line, explaining the situation, and ask them to confirm
that you only have x machine(s) activated.

George.

Hi Can anyone help me understand what's going on.
Tristram at SS has been very helpful when I've had
problems with this and reset my activations. However again
recently I needed to change the configuration
of one of my machines and swapped around the PCI
cards. Lo and behold when I rebooted I needed to reactivate.
Why is this necessary when all I did was
change the cards around - I did so to make room for
a new Audigy. This was the only new card. Everything else is
the same.
Does this mean that any time any changes take place
we will need to reactivate? Also if I do reactivate do I
lose one of my 3 activations or is it covered
by the machine number I originally had and was
given?
It seems to me that even Windows XP is not so
sensitive. Things will be OK if I can reactivate without
losing one of my 3 activations but if not, when changes
take place I can imagine that our activation history
may be queried by SS or FS.
I may have misunderstood the activation process - I
look forward to being corrected.
