John,
Part of the auth code is the computer's hardware fingerprint. This is
crucial when activating JAWS. If you chaarge a hardware (for example,
CD-ROM or adding additional memory (which I've done), the next time JAWS
starts, it will find that the hardware is different from what it is used
to. When you look at the locking code (hardware fingerprint), you'll
notice that it has changed. At that pointeay'll need to reactivate JAWS.
Locate your Auth CD and activate your software. If you remember your auth
code (20 alph-numeric string), type it in the auth box.
Cheers,
Joseph
