Re: the authorization topic

She makes a good point When you remove a key you lose it altogether. I wanted to remove a key once because I was installing a new, non-draconian operating system on a formerly computer. When I selected remove, Ihad to call FS, because that did not reset the key. At least with the disk, you could replace your removed key. You could even put the disk in the drive, boot up jaws, then take the disk out without ever authorizing. They should have kept the old scheme and given us the option for several types of media, if they must have a scheme. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patricia" <bcsarah.fan@xxxxxxxxx>

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.
