OK.
My information may be just a little dated, but I'm pretty certain that, to use
remote access software, such as Citrix, one needs to have the Pro version of
JAWS.
That, I believe, was the deciding factor for me. So, even if you are using
JAWS at home, if you need to access your work system, you may need JAWS Pro.
Your best bet is to contact Freedom Scientific.
Best of luck.

Lori, so that you understand the difference between the two JAWS offerings, the
pro version is designed for networked computers and for systems typically used
in networks, such as XP. The practical effect is that FS charges organizations
more for JAWS than it does most individuals for home use.
All things being equal, as everyone in this thread has said, you would choose
the standard version because it is cheaper. However, the real question is
whether you get more out of your XP system than XP Home. I hope listers will
comment on this aspect of your concern. I can say only that I've gone with JAWS
Pro because it assures me maximum flexibility, but money concerns can
legitimately trounce that factor

Lori,
Home users don't ordinarily need Windows XP Pro. In addition, if you upgrade
your JFW to Pro, not only will you have to pay more now, but you will have to
pay more every time you purchase an SMA. If you should upgrade to Windows 7 in
the future, be sure to get Windows 7 Home Premium for the same reason.

Hi I'm trying to activate Jaws 11 on my home PC, and although it came up
activation successful, when I tried to exit I got a message saying something
like "Jaws is not authorised to run on windows opperating systems, windows XP
or Proffessional, please contact Freedomscientific support for advice". I did
and was told I could iether downgrade my system to windows XP Home adition, or
else upgrade my JAWs to 12, which would work fine with Windows Profferssional.
The problem is it'd cost me about £300.38. Does anyone else use JAWS with
Windows XP Proffessional, and if so is it worth the upgrade? I don't know
whether to just go for the upgrade and pay the extra money or whether to get a
more basic version of XP. I'd be grateful for any advice on this before I make
a choice. Many thanks from Lori duncan.
