hi all,
I'm intrusted to know more about this.
I'm not stay in US and oviously i dont know what is the different between the
pro edition and the standard edition of jaws. 1
question i wish to ask, if there is a standard and pro edition of jaws, why at
the freedomscientific.com page we just found only 1
version of the download?
2nd. I have 2 computer running windowsXP pro and a laptop running windowsXP
home, but this 3 system is only use the same copy of
jaws that I've downloaded from the freedomscientific.com page, so is this jaws
pro or jaws standard?
of caurse I don't have the original jaws 7.10 cd because I am entitle for the
free upgrade from 7.0. so, who can tell me, the jaws
that i've download from freedomscientific.com is a pro or a standard?
Regards,
Allan Wong

Subject: Jaws version/edition
Hi all,
I am probably the least adept user of Jaws on this list and have learned a
lot of things from all of you that would have taken a lot longer to learn on
my own. So thanks to you all.
I think we have to be more precise in the terminology we are using to
discuss this subject, so here goes. Edition of Jaws: either Standard or
Pro. Version: This is only the number that defines how up-to-date the copy
of Jaws is. If we use these terms interchangably there will be
misunderstandings as is evident from previous posts.
There are two ways to find the "Edition".
1. Go to www.fsactivate.com and follow the steps. This will require you to
enter your serial number.
2. Go to Start then P then J then down arrow to Tools then right arrow then
down arrow to ILM Authorization Viewer and enter on this. You will have to
wait awhile for the information to be displayed. This method was provided
to the list by Anthony a few days ago and although it was accurate it took
me awhile to figure out, that is why I have been so detailed.
Both of these procedures will give the "Edition" and other details but not
the full "Version" number, only 6.0, 7.0, etc.
I recently purchased a laptop with a Windows XP "Edition" other than Home.
This required me to upgrade to Jaws Professional. I was told that it would
take up to 48 hours for it to be available for download. I waited the
required time, and as I did not have the laptop yet, I intended to install
it on two desktops. I downloaded it to one of them three times and as the
"Version" numbers are exactly the same and there is no distinction as to
"Editions", the only way I knew the difference is the number of upgrades I
had remaining. This computer was running XP Home so it would have worked
anyway. I finally called FS and they immediately made it possible to
download the Jaws Pro. The quention arises, "Does it make any difference
which Jaws Edition is on a Windows XP Home machine ?" Probably not, because
the additional features of Jaws Pro aren operative anyway.
There is probably a reason, but I don't understand why the "Edition" isn't
provided in the "About Jaws" in the Jaws Help menu. All this is probably
"much ado about nothing" because I doubt that it is possible to run the
wrong "Edition" of Jaws without knowing it, i.e. it will run in demo mode.
