Hi Andrew, As I understand it, the disk is being phased out. For those who cannot use internet authorisation, the dongle is being suggested as an alternative.

I need to stay with the authorisation disk for various reasons: 1. Some machines I install JFW on are temporary only; mainly servers I work on, I put the disk in as and when, not transfering any keys. 2. I have more than three machines in my house which have JFW installed on them. 3. I bring operating systems up and down at will - relying on images for specific points in time etc. I knew where I was with the key system, as I transfered the keys back and forth from the disk and put it back when I restored a particular image. 4. If the system crashes I have to ensure TCP/IP is working presumably before I can de-activate a key; if its broken tuff. 5. I can't always guarantee I can get access to the authorisation server. Will it be possible to keep the disk version? Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of George Bell Sent: Wed 15/12/2004 14:28 To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] FW: Jaws 6.0 coming Dec 15: -----Original Message----- From: Mervyn Robertson Sent: 15 December 2004 14:22 To: 'jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: Re:Jaws 6.0 coming Dec 15: Hopefully the information below will answer some of the questions regarding JAWS 6.0 Regards Mervyn On Wednesday, December 15, Freedom Scientific are scheduled to post the JAWS 6.0 SMA upgrade. The JAWS version is a paid for upgrade so only the customers entitled to run JAWS 6 will be pre authorised. While the shipping version of JAWS 6 will be the new ILM authorization, Freedom Scientific will be providing an ILM, as well as a Quella version (Floppy Disk authorisation version) for the Download so everyone with Quella entitled to get 6 can begin now. This particular Quella version will expire in March 2005 but that will give us plenty of time to be certain that all SMA shipments have arrived and customers will be instructed to install from the ILM Program CD as soon it arrives. There will be some time lag before Sight & Sound will be able to ship the ILM versions owing to the need to create individual Authorization CDs for each of the independent packages we will ship. Freedom Scientific will commence shipping to us around the 10th of January but several weeks may elapse before we have received all of the packages. Please be patient, we will get packages to every eligible customer as quickly as we can. By default, the number of activations that will be available is three. This is not intended to be restrictive and anyone with a need to have additional installations will be accommodated and can be dealt with on an individual basis. -----Original Message----- From: Robin Clayden [mailto:r.clayden@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 15 December 2004 10:44 To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: Fw: Jaws 6.0 coming Dec 15: Yep, Wally, if you're in the office at 9 o'clock tonight, you can sit there and wait for the download link to suddenly appear, and if you're in the office at 9 o'clock tonight, then you certainly won't surely be working, you'll be well gassed at the office party, so leave that pc alone! On a more serious note, I've just been reding much of the bumff they churn out for such exclusives, and wonder what the final outcome was in relation to old discussions about the ILM, Internet Licence Manager. I mean, we got five keys on a floppy queller disk before, but how many machines will we be able to furnish with this new system? And/or, would it be a simple task to unauthorise a desktop, and go switch authorisation to the laptop or another machine, if you needed to? At present, I have four keys installed all over the place, for access to 2 iSDX phone exchanges, as well as my main pc, here and at home, so restrictions on the number of installations would be a real pain in the butt for me, and I'm sure, a few other people who have a similar roving commission. Hmm, I'll no doubt drop S 'n S a private enquiry. Cheers, Robin.
