I have missed the start of this thread, the engineer has not been able to fix the

dell and they will send a technician and this time I will have Noman my
local engineer present, we think the  hd  is faulty in addition to other
problems, but the laptop is now able to use the scanner and printer as it no
longer goes via the wireless connection, various wizards wereneeded to fix
this as xp is only 32 bit, I got all messages in on both computers rarely did one get missed, I think we can have jaws on 2 machines ? I have heard of something called a dongle, but not sure what it is. I do know some people have jaws on a thumbdrive, which I think is also a memory stick? I am not sure about your ocr if open book,but I can have my ocr on as many computers as I want, and when dell small alteration of a draw, jaws treated me as a new comer my OCR did not ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Lange" <trlange@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi,
That's what I thought, too.  I run it on my desktop and on my laptop, but
rarely do I run both machine32 bit. however to the subject I used both
computers at same time, mainly for  convenience   but for safety this
means the In box and  specific folders like Jaws usa came in on both
machiness simultaneously.  It shouldn't make a damn
bit of difference if I run them at the same time.

I actually thought that we could have JAWS on two computers so long as
both are used by us.

Tom,

Good sleuthing. Too bad you had to burn a key to find out. You took one
for
the list, so to speak.

Agree completely on the key insanity. There must be better ways for FS to
verify that JAWS is running on just one computer.

Hi,
After following a thread regarding the mysterious error 6 or 106 over the
weekend, I finally ran into the problem just a couple of hours ago, on my
Toshiba Satellite A505-6040 laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium and
JAWS
version 12.
I was cold booting the laptop, when it suddenly occured to me that I
needed
to plug in the Pearl camera so that I could use Open Book, so I plugged
it
into the USB port.  When the login screen came up, JAWS told me that it
had
been authorized for an older version and that I needed to update the
authorization.  . When I attempted to do so, I told the activation
routine
to use the Internet, as I knew that my
wi-fi was up by then. The client activator failed with an error 106.  My
hunch was that I'd lost my last activation key, so I checked fsactivate
and
confirmed this.  This was subsequently verified during a call to FS tech
support.

So, if you're still experiencing that error 106 during activation, check
to
see if you have any keys left.  You probably don't.

Also, I guess on some machines like my laptop, it's best to insert USB
devices either before powering up the machine or after the bootup process
completes, to keep JAWS from getting  confused about the hardware
footprint.
It ticks me off that questionable timing cost me a key.  Like I said last
Friday, this whole key business is a pain, and I won't hesitate to give
FS a
hard time about it when the opportunity presents itself.  Surely I'm not
the
only one who hates this sort of stuff.

Tom
