little did I know that this would generate this much heated debate. I was more 
asking the question out of curiousity and because someone asked me. I just 
remember when I had to re-authorize jaws once that I was told that if I needed 
to do it a lot that I should just use the dongle. and I felt like saying how am 
I supposed to predict when my computer crashes? that's the only reason I asked 
about it. I've also had others act surprised when i said that you could not put 
back the authorization key and that you'd have to get a new one. they didn't 
believe me. so, then, just again out of curiousity, why have the option to 
remove it in the first place? is that meant more for if you want to authorize 
jaws on a computer that isn't your own and then remove keys when you're done? 
and in that case, wouldn't it make more sense to ask for a dongle in those 
circumstances so that you can run jaws off a thumb drive? most people now a 
days seem to have USB memory sticks, which jaws can run off of. granted it's 
not the full version that runs off your pc, but it's great for those times when 
you need it, and I think that when I get a job I will use it that way so as not 
to have to put out the employer (not that they shouldn't have to supply it). 
the asking of the question because I thought that you could put the key into a 
file as with your settings like the dictionary settings for example. but now 
I'm going ahead of myself.
