Hi Chris and others, I am seriously considering going to the dongle authorization. I use two computers and may get a new laptop so I have not loaded JAWS 11 as yet. Somehow the old floppy authorization did have its benefits. (LOL) If you were going to upgrade the operating system, reformat or whatever you could pull the authorization off the hard drive and put it back on the floppy. Only once in the past 16 or so years I have been using JAWS I had to request more authorizations with the old system. When trying to install JAWS 9 with the new wonderful system I managed to go through all three authorizations because there was a problem with the JAWS 9 CD install. I do not have the answer but, surely, there must be a better common sense solution to this problem. Since things on a desktop such as CD/DVD drives, sound cards, video cards and such tend to change with some frequency having the "footprint" of the computer linked to the authorization seems to be a genuine nuisance.

If your hardware changes from the time you authorized JAWS using ILM, you will be required to re-activate. FS gives you three keys, but you can request more if you like through a form on www.fsactivate.com.
