Hi Christopher, Who is this JAWS dealer you're talking of please? I think I'll use them from now on. And thanks a lot to all who replied. I rang Sight&Sound today and they said that SMA(s) are still available for purchase here in UK. The customers adviser person this time said that they don't believe that I was given this advice, and letters about renewing SMA would've been sent out by post anyway, he said. And I have no choice but to pay a full update fee from V7to V8. Oh well, that teaches me to use email to get an advice next time and to keep a copy of the respond I get where possible.
