re: the authorization topic

Patricia,
The "Remove Product Activation" is useful if you are going to remeve the auth code that is stored on your temporary computer. JAWS for USB Thumb Drive is indeed a version of JAWS 7.0 optimized for USB Flash drives. If the batch file detects that the host (the computer you are connecting to) has authorization, then it will use that key to authorize it. This is true for the dongle authorization. If it finds that it has no authorization, it will run in 40 minute Demo mode. 
Cheers,
Joseph PddS. There is no way of determining when a computer's going to crash (this is when the Disk Cloning software like GHOST is useful).

Subject: the authorization topic
little did I know that this would generate
this much heated debate. I was more asking the question out of curiousity and because someone asked me. I just remember when I had to re-authorize jaws once that I was told that if I needed to do it a lot that I should just use the dongle. and I felt like saying how am I supposed to predict when my computer crashes? that's the only reason I asked about it. I've also had others act surprised when i said that you could not put back the authorization key and that you'd have to get a new one. they didn't believe me. so, then, just again out of curiousity, why have the option to remove it in the first place? is that meant more for if you want to authorize jaws on a computer that isn't your own and then remove keys when you're done? and in that case, wouldn't it make more sense to ask for a dongle in those circumstances so that you can run jaws off a thumb drive? most people now a days seem to have USB memory sticks, which jaws can run off of. granted it's not the full version that runs off your pc, but it's great for those times when you need it, and I think that when I get a job I will use it that way so as not to have to put out the employer (not that they shouldn't have to supply it). the asking of the question because I thought that you could put the key into a file as with your settings like the dictionary settings for example. but now I'm going ahead of myself.
