Allison, No you will not need to buy another version of JFW. Though I don't know the exact dates, if your JFW 4.51 was purchased near the release of 5.0, you may be authorized to use 5.0. It would be best to contact Freedon Scientific to find out if you fall within this cuttoff. If not, you will need to pay for an upgrade to 5.0. At which time it is advisable to also buy an SMA for the next 2 updates if you intend to keep current with JFW. FS won't sell you an SMA in place of an upgrade once the update is out. -----Original Message----- From: Allison Mervis [mailto:mervisallison@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 9:35 To: jfwlist Subject: purchasing jaws Hi everyone! My rehab counselor bought me jaws 4.51 awhile ago but did not purchase an SMA agreement. I would like to purchase Jaws 5. Do I need to purchase the program and then the SMA agreement? Or can I just buy an SMA and begin receiving updates starting with Jaws 5. This is probably a dumb question, but I'd really appreciate an answer. Thanks!
