No it's so you can permanently uninstall JAWS on your computer without the key being left behind.

I understand that option is there to save you from losing a Jaws key. I am referring to start menu>all programs>Jaws>tools>remove product activation.

This contains the key, and JAWS is activated in full working mode when the dongle is inserted into a USB port. Talk to your JAWS dealer who will be able to advise costs, etc..

Greetings, A while ago, I managed to lose the sound card on my upstairs desktop pc, files were being recorded from the internet via TotalRecorder alright but no sound of any kind from the system so good job I had a hardware synth for Jaws. Eventually, I was advised to go via system into device manager, thence down the devices and totally uninstall the card, restart Windows and it should be back. I did and it was. I lost my Jaws key so had to have it reset. I would like to find how to stop losing the Jaws key in case I may need to repeat this or a similar fix. Obviously, I would need Jaws to be running until ready to restart Windows, so can anybody tell me how to stop loss of the key as happened this time? I also had to reset volumes and here is the rub. I went into control properties in GW (I have v5.56 running, not updated to v5.57 yet will do so shortly I have it and the Jim Grimsbey Jr. scripts) and I have TotalRecorder v8.1Pro build 980) having run sndvol32 to set up my volumes. I could not get the master volume to change it was stuck at 7. I decided to try setting through totalRecorder and, when I went to the sliders on the main window, found recording level was set to 42, far too low. I reset at 67, my usual state, I then exited the program and re-entered GoldWave. when I again went into control properties, I discovered the master was set at 22, so how can this be? all the other volumes showed 0 and the balances all 50 so I do not understand how TR could set the levels whereas GW could not be made to set them. I would welcome any explanation via the JawsUK, total Recorder and the GoldWave groups, to whence I am sending this post. Colin Howard has sent this you, he lives in a small place about 8 miles east of Southampton in Southern England. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 5374 (20100817) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com__________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 5374 (20100817) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 5374 (20100817) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com__________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 5374 (20100817) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
