Welll no copy protection scheme is perfect. Even the ILM scheme can be
gotten around. I m not going to mention how for obvious reasons. My only
complaint is when you are out of installs and your hard drive goes belly up
at 8PM on a Friday night.

Hi,

They do have both and ask no questions what so ever when you write or call 
for a reset.  I honestly do not know why this seems to be so unfair to 
others here.  I've done it several times without a problem.

The reason we don't have the floppy disk license anymore is because of 
pirateing of JAWS.  With ILM this is much harder and perhaps impossible.  If

people didn't steal all the time then perhaps FS wouldn't have to resort to 
this kind of thing, but people steal and they have to protect themselvs 
whether we like it or not.

Rick

I thought FS had a way to reset the key over the web?  Or at least some 
other
way then by calling them.  I was extactic when they came out with a flash
version of jaws till I learned this didn't mean you could put the 
authorization
on the flash drive.  Of course I think if jaws is for greater access, they
shouldn't have an authorization scheme at all.
