You only need one authorization for each computer. On any computer you may have any number of JAWS versions. On this computer I am using, I have all versions of JAWS from 4.5 to version 9 and it only takes one authorization. Now to your other question. Some people have had a problem installing an earlier version of JAWS while there is a later version already installed. You may have to uninstall version 9 then install version 7 and then re-install version 9. It would be a good idea to have a different hot key for each version. I use alt control with the version number like alt control 7 and alt control 9 for example. hth ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Tipka To: JFW Free List Sent: Sunday, July 06, 2008 9:11 PM Subject: Jaws authorization for 2 computers Hi friends, This question might sound strange, but here it goes. I am currently using Jaws version 9, but in some instances I would like to use Jaws version 7. I have my authorization code for Jaws 9 installed on my computer at this time, will I need to get an authorization if I install Jaws 7 to make that version of Jaws work for more than the 40 minute trial period or will it work with the Jaws 9 authorization. Just for clarity, I have never had Jaws 7 installed on this computer. Your help will be appreciated, B T
