?Guys, I know this authorization method is anoying sometimes but don't you think you are blowing it out of proportion? I had have to re-format this computer and the others I have jaws installed and I have ran out of activation keys a number of times. However, I just fill out the "request reset of activation form" and in under a day I get 3 new shiny keys to use. I haven't had any problems with FS regarding the activation key (except once but it was because I had jaws standard and I wanted to installed jaws on win ultimate). Again, if you want to authorize jaws on a number of computer and you don't want to bother with the activation license and running out of keys just get a dungle and the thumb drive version of jaws. And if you don't want to use the thumb drive version of jaws, then just download the 40 minute demo and use the dungle key to activate it.

It is my understanding that you can remove the license from the particular computer however you can not return a license to the license server at freedom scientific. This was stated by Eric from freedom scientific at a trade show that I went to when the Internet activation first came out. It is possible that things have changed however I doubt it. The option to remove activation is there for the following reason. Let's say you wanted to use Jaws for Windows on a family member's computer or a spare computer at a family member's home. You could install Jaws for Windows and authorize it while you're there. Remove the authorization just before you leave while leaving Jaws for Windows installed on the machine and then all you would have to do next Christmas is just re-authorize Jaws on the machine without having to install again. In this scenario since you removed the authorization for Jaws for Windows there is little chance of the same authorized version of Jaws being ran at the same time. I hope this helps.

I can't find the thread that was talking about this so I thought I'd start another one that is directly asking about my queried. Basicly what it all boils down to is that if I was to go to All programmes, Jaws 12 which is my version, arrow down to tools, and go to remove product activation, then uninstall Jaws, would I then get that activation count back, so instead of having 1 I will thenhave that one back that I removed the activation and then could put it on another computer? I'm not going to do any of this but I just wanted to know how this works. Because if memory serves me correctly it was Chris that said that this couldn't be done but I think it was Dave that said it could. So I would like to know weather its yes or no. LOL If its no then quite frankly what is the purpose of having it if we can't move the key around to other computers. It might as well not be there if you know what I mean! LOL I would be greatful if this could be explained in detail so I know how it works.
