No keys do not have a time limit at all. Secondly I have never bought any new keys at all and JAWS has been running here over 5 years even though S M A s have come and gone. As to your third question I have no idea what you mean by converting. I can tell you that it didn't need to be done here.

I have a couple of questions about authorization keys: 1. Does a key have an expiration date? The reason I ask this is because when I had jaws running on an older system every 4 years I had to put on a new key because it told me that the other one had expired, but someone told me that they run indeffinetly. 2. When I run out of free upgrades and I decide to purchase jaws along with a new SMA, do I also need to purchase a new set of keys? Also one more question I just thought of. I notice when reinstalling jaws like for example yesterday I did a full clean install removing the key and all. My autho disk came with jaws4.0 and I wanted to install it on 5.0, but it wouldn't let me until I ran the conversion program. Is this normal? Thanks!
