Dear Linda The first thing would suggest if your PC is connected to the Internet is run through the activation wizard choose the "now using the Internet" option for activation , on the next screen it will prompt you for an authorisation, if you inserted an authorisation CD into the machine this number should be there. Press ENTER to proceed from that point and note any error message that you get if indeed that is the case, normally JAWS will tell you the process has finished and activation has been successful. If you let us know the error message (and its number) then it should be possible to determine the cause of it. In case you have further problems please mail into support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx rather than the list giving us your serial number and if possible your Windows operating system. We can then start to analyse further what the issue may be. Regards.

From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Lynda Blake Sent: 14 December 2009 11:07 To: JAWS list Subject: [jaws-uk] how do I get out of demo mode? A few days ago someone installed JAWS 11 for me. He carefully followed the instructions and everything seemed to be okay, yet I keep getting a message that the program is only in 40 minute demo mode. I've asked him to check the settings and he says its all in order so far as he can tell, so what else can he do?
