I think the sma info is based on your serial number, which is part of the 
info stored in the dongle. In the version that I started using  when I got 
my dongle, 4.51, there is a menu item in the Jaws 4.51 menu for the Dongel 
viewer. I will tell you various particulars about what your dongle is 
authorized for.
