Hi George,
Yep, been there george. However, there is a way round this problem. I
now have a Jaws authorisation dongle. So, in my rucksacs secret
water-proof compartment, is the above dongle and a pen drive with jaws
11, 32 and 64 bit versions.

Subject: [jaws-uk] JAWS Licensing - was: going to be buying Jaws soon
and have a few questions.
I've changed the subject to be more appropriate here.
When you buy JAWS, it will have a Serial Number. You must correctly
Register JAWS under that Serial Number.
You will also receive a special 20 digit alpha numeric code on a
separate License CD. This basically allows JAWS to be run under your
serial number, but it will still require to be authorised in order to
run fully. This is most easily done over the internet from within
JAWS, and is fairly automatic.
If you loose your installation media, you will need to contact your
JAWS supplier, who in turn can arrange to sort out a replacement
License CD. However, you will still need to know your JAWS Serial
number, or at least be able to prove that you are the person who
purchased and registered it so that the dealer can find a copy of your
details on their system.
As regards the number of installations, bear in mind that a
single-user license is just that. You are permitted to install JAWS
on a second system which you use, on the basis that you cannot
normally use two systems at the same time. Note this is quite
different from installing it on your system and also on a friend's
system.
You can install on a third system, again of your own, but personally
speaking as a JAWS dealer myself, I would advise against that if at
all possible. It is always wise to keep one installation to hand,
because Murphy's Law says that when you need that spare, it will be
around 6pm on a Friday night in America, and Freedom Scientific who
are the only ones who can normally sort these things out, will have
gone off for the weekend. And moreover, you will usually have a vital
piece of work which needs done by the following Monday morning.
One final word about transfer of ownership. Some people are
officially given the copy of JAWS they have used at school when they
leave school. Please ensure that 1) You get an official letter from
the school confirming they have given this to you. 2) Deal with the
transfer of ownership right away. It will cost you to arrange
transfer, but again you dealer will help here.
George.
