I agree with you. Actually, the Dongle is a piece of hardware. It is not a
program you install on your computer. That means if you lose it you are back
where you started. From what I have heard it is a small device and some people
put it on their keychain. The device plugs into one of the USB ports on your
computer and must be plugged in at all times.

This is precisely what FS told me to do, that is to purchase a dongle. Oh
come on! throwing good money over the bad one?
Enough is enough! Afterall, when one purchase the SMA, there is no way one
can be sure that the newer version of jaws is what they needs.
Besides, I have been using my laptop for 2 and half years and have not
changed or installed any new component, by just activating blue tooth and
switching to wi-fi will trigger the infamous activation request. I don't think
you need to pay 1000 dollars to face the music! And what FS can do is ask you
to pay out more money, to buy a dongle. Easy way out!

Kenny,
Your locking code will not help anyone else solve the problem. The locking
code is a unique number generated by your computer based on the combination of
several hardware items installed. Think of it like a Checksum used to validate
a very large hexadecimal number. If you don't know what a checksum is, try
Googling it.
In any case your locking code can change when hardware (and apparently some
drivers) change and when it does, it triggers JAWS to request a new activation
code. This is because JAWS assumes that a new locking code means that you have
installed JAWS on a completely different computer. Their strategy to control
the number of JAWS installations per user is valid, but the implementation is
flawed.
So forget your locking code, and just do what Alex said. Download the
latest JAWS 11 dot 0 dot 1461 (that's the latest) and install. See what
happens. If you still have problems then you need to let Freedom Scientific
know, or if you're fed up with it, purchase a dongle and you don't have to mess
with the activation key any more.

Hi Alan this is kenny. Here is the locking code. I wonder if these things
change if you get the activation prompt?
