Just a note here if, for any reason, you want to keep your older version of 
5.0 on your system as well:

Copy the existing jaws50 folder and rename it to a different name, e.g. 
jaws5feb (for the Februar update) then run the 5.00.844 installer which 
will update/overwrite the original jaws50 folder.

if you manually create a shortcut key to your older version of jfw, (in our 
example the one in the jaws5feb folder) you can then run either version of 
jaws 5.0 according to your preference.

Cheers,

Doris
