Hi, They do have both and ask no questions what so ever when you write or call for a reset. I honestly do not know why this seems to be so unfair to others here. I've done it several times without a problem. The reason we don't have the floppy disk license anymore is because of pirateing of JAWS. With ILM this is much harder and perhaps impossible. If people didn't steal all the time then perhaps FS wouldn't have to resort to this kind of thing, but people steal and they have to protect themselvs whether we like it or not.

Or at least some other way then by calling them. I was extactic when they came out with a flash version of jaws till I learned this didn't mean you could put the authorization on the flash drive. Of course I think if jaws is for greater access, they shouldn't have an authorization scheme at all. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Harmon" <rharmon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 2:57 PM Subject: Re: removing authorization key, putting it back later >I actually have done that.
