Hi. That update is a version of Jaws for those users who must have a hardware dongle on the system. The dongle is a small device which is plugged into a USB or parallel port, and is used as an alternate method of authorization when floppy disk authorization is impossible on that particular system. That is, when the floppy disk drive is broken or when there is no disk drive, as is becoming more and more the case on new systems. If you don't have a dongle, download the standard version of Jaws, which works with an authorization disk.
