MessageHi Tristram. Well, I've now got this sorted thanks to Sight and Sound
and William Burton inparticular. I must say though, the waters are very muddy
when it comes to this subject. I couldn't authorise JFW via Vista as it said I
had an old authorisation key... I had to purchase an upgrade or an SMA. So, in
theory, this is not meant to be a free upgrade for users of Vista unless you
have an SMA in place and that you bought it before the 1st of Feb this year.
If your SMA has run out at the current version (8.0) and you haven't bought
another one yet....then you'll find JFW will not install on Vista!
I think FS are realising that this is grossly misguided for the customers who's
SMA's have ran out, so I guess they're bending a bit, but it's certainly got me
thinking about what I'm going to do next regarding my SMA. I'm wondering what
other tricks they have up their sleeves in the future...luckily, I've wriggled
out of this one, I might not be so lucky next time! Cheers Steve.

Dear Steve and others
Just to confirm that Jaws 8.0.2173 is a free update for all Jaws 8.0 users.
It is particularly aimed at the Windows VISTA people however it will install
and have benefits accross the other O/S's as well.
If you are a JAWS 8.0 user and are in doubt regarding VISTA that you may need
to install on, please contact us with your serial number at Sight and Sound and
we will do our best to help.
Finally to re-itterate (because the question frequently keeps arising), Jaws
works on all flavours of VISTA, however you will need apropriate authorisation.
Jaws standard works on VISTA Home Basic and VIST HOME Premium Editions. Jaws
Professional adds the ability to run on VISTA Business, Enterprise and Ultimate
Editions. The Media Centre facilities like on Windows XP Media Centre Edition
start from VISTA Home Preumium and so you will only need a JAWS standard
license to access that. If you decide to use Anytime Upgrade to go from HOme
Premium to Ultimate Edition you will require an upgrade to your JAWS license.
Regards.
