Hi
The ILM auth scheme is very easy to use. You first insert your activation cd and then install JAWS 6 either from a program you've downloaded, or from the cd. When the instalation process completes, you'l be asked to activate, so hit that activate button. Next, choose online activation and then hit the next button. Your activation number should be in the edit box, this is assuming you first put in your activation cd. If it is in there and you see a series of 20 numbers, choose the next button and then it'll atempt to activate, and within a few seconds you should be successfully activated. It couldn't be simpler.
Go ahead, give it a shot.

This makes at least two of us!  I have an upgrade available for 6.0, but
because of the new ilm scheme, am reluctant to do it..  My version of 5.1
works fine with win xp running service pack 2.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I have used JAWS 5.1 with xp sp 2 with no
prob.

        Hi all. I found out something yesterday that I think all JAWS users
should be aware of. If you are thinking of installing JAWS 5.0 or 5.1 on a
Windows XP machine, don't do it! You'll need sighted assistance to fix it
like I did. What happened is that Freedom scientific changed the way JAWS
hooks to the screen. The only way you should try to install JAWS 5.0/5.1 is
if you have at least version 6 of JAWS on your system, and do not remove the
shared components. Even then, I wouldn't recommend it. In order to fix it,
buy the way, you have to either do a system restore or boot the computer in
to safe mode and remove the jhook file. Either way, you have to boot the PC
up in to Safe mode because the computer can't display in normal mode. I
don't know if this is true on all windows systems, but on my Windows XP
Service Pack 2 machine it most certainly was!
