[Blindtlk] What is an SAM and is it Worth the Cost?

[Edward Green]

Hi Chris,

If you are purchasing the SMA concurrently with an upgrade to the next version of JAWS as it sounds like you would be, it will apply to the next two upgrades, not the version you’re purchasing alongside it.  Normally there is a cut off point by which you have to buy the SMA if you want it to apply to the next version of JAWS, you’ll have missed that for JAWS 17.

Cheers,

Ed

If I purchased  the SMA with v17, does that then mean v18 and v19 are covered under the SMA or by  two upgrades are you meaning 17 and 18? If it is just 17 and 18 (I have 16 already so 17 is what I need to purchase) that are covered it would not seem worth it since with the SMA the price is twice what it would be without it.
