The value, according to the what's new section, is that you can carry your
JAWS settings around with you. I agree, it's not the wondrous solution
that it appears to be on the surface.

I'm having trouble imagining the practical scenarios for this thumb drive. I hopefully thought it meant what an earlier poster was hoping, that you could travel without your own computer and temporarily install Jaws on other peoples' machines (I imagined something like a limit in terms of days or hours of usage, not the demo mode). But if the other machine has to have an authorization on it, wouldn't that imply that it also had *Jaws* on it already? In which case, of what value would the thumb drive deal be? No, I haven't yet been to the site to see the explanation there, but I'm skeptical that a question as basic as mine is addressed. I presume that others know exactly what the meaning of all this is, but I can't figure out what's being described. And I don't understand what dongles are for, either. I thought they were for a similar purpose. To temporarily install jaws on a computer not your own.
If this is really clearly explained online, someone just please tell me and I'll be glad to go there later.

According to the thumb drive FAQ, you need at least 128 MB free on the thumb drive. If the computer onto which you are putting JAWS is not already authorized to run JAWS, the 40-minute demo will run.
