Pat- supplementing Sue Martin's reply I have parsed your e-mail and replied below each section: I just reformatted my hard drive and installed Vista. I have also downloaded from Nuance the latest version of Dragon Naturally Speaking Pro 9.5. I am not sure whether I uninstalled DNS 9.1 before I reformatted my hard drive - temporary memory lapse, so I am also not sure whether the software was deactivated. In case I forgot to uninstall DNS9, how many activations will I have left? Am I royally messed up, or can I still activate my software? Is there a way I can check the number of activations I have left, as I can with JAWS? >> it is our understanding that the Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional disc/serial number should allow a 10 install/activations, but whether it is actually 10 or less you shouldn't have any issue if you didn't "deactivate"; however, we do recommend that users uninstall while connected to the Internet as this will 'restore' one of the installs. One can always contact their Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional distributor or Nuance Communications if additional installations become necessary. On a slightly different topic, can I run the latest - soon to be released - version of J-Say and J-Vist on the same computer? >> yes this should be possible, but we'd certainly want guidance from the gurus at T&T Consultancy Will there be another version of J-Days for Outlook 2007, or has Freedom's latest scripting obviated the need for that program? >> it is my anticipation that there will be developments on this front (stay tuned for future information) Lastly, is there a program on Main Menu or the like that demonstrates the functionality of J-Say or J-Vist? >> well answered by Ms. Martin -ed.
