I originally asked the question on behalf of a friend, and really thought
the answer was as Mervyn has just stated. The problem is the activation
keys, of which you only get a limited number with each copy of JAWS, and
your serial number does stay with you when you upgrade. In this way FS know
who owns what, and it is not really possible legally to transfer ownership.
The other part of my question was to ask if JAWS 8 would be ok for her, and
I have been reassured on that point.
However, there are other screenreading solutions, and I am intending to
investigate some of them when I get the time. The real problem is that JAWS
is far too expensive for people on limited means.

Since this is a public list I would suggest that your remarks are a
little unwise. I would point out that, unless your JAWS 4.5 and JAWS 8
serial numbers are not the same, you are not in a position to sell
version 4.5 and keep using version 8 since they relate to the same
single-user licence.
Whilst it gives me no satisfaction to bring this to your attention, your
original message advocates breaking the licence conditions of the
software and I'm afraid this would constitute an illegal activity
whether it be related to JAWS or any other licensed software.
Regards
Mervyn

I do have jaws 4.5 to sale it as currently I am using jaws 8. latest. I
am willing to forward original jaws software disks together with the
lience disk. I think FS does not need to know and when requiring
support, could always do it by giving serial number or even I do not
mind if needs to give person's name i.e. mine. Please let me know if
your friend would like follow up suggested obtion.
