just an fyi that I found the hard way, 
 
if it's possible for you to deactivate hardware temporarily, say turning
off a wifi card, this will also trigger jaws to think you've got a
different pc.  this seems to be a problem mostly for laptop users with
vista, as it appears hardware which is turned off under vista actually
disappears from the device list because it's driver is unloaded.
 
since I have a wifi card, a bluetooth card, and a hard wired ethernet
option, jaws required me to activate *eight* different times to cover
all the possibilities of hardware configurations!!! :(  since fs will
only give you 3 activations at a time, this took weeks to resolve.
 
this is unacceptible to me as who knows where you might be when some
hardware change happens to your pc; you may be away from the internet,
or out of activations at the fs web site.

        Hi!
         
        A computer guy came to my house yesterday and put in a DVD drive
in for me, and may have reactivated my printer.  Now, when I boot up,
Jaws prompts me with "activation".  How do I get that to stop?
         
        Thanks!
         
        Come inside where...Is it hot or cool?
