John, Then the best option is to get a dongle.

Look, I've already said several times that I
understand how it works.
Please stop explaining to me *why* it works
the way it does. That isn't
going to change my opinion. First of all, I
understand how it works.
Second, I don't care.
I don't care about the technical explanation.
Why would I?The bottom line is
that I can't swap out my CD-ROM drive if it
fails without phoning FS.
In my opinion, the authorization scheme shows
a huge amount of arrogance on
the part of FS. Either that or foolishness.
I don't think they can afford to
anger their customers right about now. Not
with VoiceOver and orca
breathing down their necks (not to mention
Windo-eyes).
Maybe this is OT for this list. Is the
future of JFW a valid topic? If so, I
am saying that I am not happy. I have
actively begun looking for
alternatives. VoiceOver looks very
promising. I'd probably have switched by
now except it has one killer defect, it
doesn't read the terminal window
text unless you use the cursor keys. It's
like you have to use the jaws
cursor and arrow around in the window.
Several of us VO users have entered
bug reports with Apple about this. I'm
hoping it's fixed in the next release
of the MacOS. If so, I'm outta here and FS
has blown a $1000 re-licensing
fee.
Of course, they'd probably lose me as a
customer anyway as soon as either
VoiceOver or orca get to be good enough to be
used every day for real work.
Maybe they realize that and figure JFW has a
limited life anyway. That would
explain why they're so draconian about
licensing. Maybe they're trying to
get as much out of it as they can before it's
obsolete.

John,Part of the auth code is the computer's
hardware fingerprint. This is
crucial when activating JAWS. If you
chaarge a hardware (for example,
CD-ROM or adding additional memory (which
I've done), the next time JAWS
starts, it will find that the hardware is
different from what it is used
to. When you look at the locking code
(hardware fingerprint), you'll
notice that it has changed. At that
pointeay'll need to reactivate JAWS.
Locate your Auth CD and activate your
software. If you remember your auth
code (20 alph-numeric string), type it in
the auth box.
Cheers, Joseph

I don't know which way is better. A coupleof weeks ago, my CD-ROM drivedied. I swapped in a new one and lost myjaws authorization. Now, that isbogus. Why in the world would I have toreauthorize a license for anythingjust because I swapped out a CD-ROM drive?Oh, I know there is a good*technical* explanation. But from a customerservice standpoint, that istruly bogus.
When you pay $1000 for a piece of software,you expect better service thanthat.

This is really not as big a hassle as itseems. In a lot of ways, ILM'sare less trouble than their predecessors.You no longer have to worryabout an optimization program trashing yourkey. Furthermore, if you doneed a fresh supply, getting replacements isfar easier than it used tobe. The old process involved either resetcodes, which did not alwayswork, or waiting for a fresh disc to arrive.

not only that, if you change any hardware inyour system the ilmauthorization is render invalid.
Legend has it that on Monday 1/29/2007 11:23PM, Joseph Lee said:Patricia, ILM is different from Quela authorization. If you have Quela autherization (JAWS 5.1 orearlier), use HJAUTHutility to save the auth key back to thediskette and install itlater. With ILM, you can indeed remove authcode, but you cannotinstall it later. You'll need to activate it again (ILM looksfor the hardwarefingerprint in order for it to work). If thedrive is changed (forexample, formatted), then it will ask you toreactivate it.Cheers, Joseph

is there a way that you can remove yourauthorization key (sauy for formatting yourcomputer) and thenputting it back later so that you don't haveto redo your keysthereby losing another key? I don't see anyway of doing this, andam asking on a friend's behalf but I thinkthat if there ins't a waythere should be because then people wouldn'thave to constantly callFS or fill out the form online.
