[Job-Discussions] Amazon Workspaces

[Chris Nestrud]

This page indicates that JAWS 2020 supports Amazon WorkSpaces. You
should just need to get JAWS installed on the WorkSpace; that copy does
not need a license; your local copy needs the $200.00 remote access
add-on to your existing license.

>From https://support.freedomscientific.com/downloads/jaws/JAWSWhatsNew

 When connecting to a remote computer using remote access software
(Remote Desktop, Citrix, VMware Horizon, or Amazon WorkSpaces), JAWS and
Fusion can now get its remote authorization from a license installed locally on the
remote computer if it is running a work station operating system like
Windows 10 Professional. For example, you have a JAWS Professional license with
remote access authorization on a Windows 10 computer at your office
which you sometimes connect to from home using Remote Desktop, but you only have a Home
Annual license with no remote authorization on your personal computer.
When you establish a remote connection between your home and work computers, as long as you
are running the June 2020 release or later of your Freedom Scientific
software, JAWS will use the license on your work computer to enable the remote
access flag.  If connecting to a remote computer running a server operating system
like Windows Server 2019 which supports multiple user connection, JAWS
and Fusion will continue to only use the license on the client or a Freedom
Scientific network license server for authorization.
