Re: removing authorization key, putting it back later

I really hate how blind pardon the pun that some people can be on this matter.
There are more cracks now that jaws went to an ilm scheme. There was way way less around when they hada quella auth. IT took quite a bit of work to copy a quela disk because of how the disk was layed out and not that I have ever done it, but I've seen how it was done, it wasn't worth the time. To the people who do the cracking, ILM=worth cracking. FS could use some sort of encryption scheme to allow you to back up your liscence so in my eyes this is a violation of fare use. Although the fact that they seem to reset the authorization without any hastle might shield them from anything. I own a copy of jaws and frankly I like to support the people that make the accessibility happen.

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.

I thought FS had a way to reset the key over the web?  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.

I actually have done that. But when my keys get down to one I know to call 
FS.  if that is on the weekend then I wait till monday.  I understand his
gripe but still one needs to know the rules of the product they are using.

I can see where he's coming from... I suppose if you want something
without
this problem, you'll have to get a dongle, for $45.

For one thing, it's not a problem. It's by design.


It's  a problem  for me! I don't care if it's by design.

My CD-ROM dies and instead of just being able to swap it out, I have to
call
FS and get reauthorized? That's bogus. Why would I care if it's a bug or
by
design


For a second thing,
if you're going to be using it, you'd darned well better read up on it.


Who says?

An authorization scheme that requires you to study it is itself a defect.
I'm a professional programmer. And I consider it a failure on my part
every
time I have to explain how to use one of my programs. Sometimes it's
impossible to have things simple enough that they need no explanation. But 
I
haven't had to study the authorization scheme for any other software I've
ever licensed. I don't lose my Windows XP authorization when i swap out a
CD-ROM drive.


Third, whether you or anyone else thinks it's stupid is irrelevant, this
is the way it is. Ranting and stamping your foot isn't going to change


First of all, I'm not "ranting" nor am I "stamping my foot". I'm stating
my
opinion just as you are stating yours.
If you're questioning why I'm talking about it on this list, well, it came 
up. Why are you talking about it?
But more importantly, this is how things get changed. They certainly won't 
change if nobody complains. I told FS that I found their authorization
scheme unacceptable. I did them a favor in doing so.
