[Njtechdiv] Question Regarding Difference Between Jaws 18.x & 2018?

[Andy]

If you have an SMA, you can get 2018 right now.  I think you'll have to get it from their website.

JAWS isn't replacing any scanning software; they just added a bunch of OCR features to expand what they already had.  They make a camera that works with OpenBook, so they just expanded some of its functionality to JAWS also.

I was wondering if this new 2018 release that is either out already or soon to be released that will start Freedom’s new way of numbering updates/versions of the software will automatically be pushed out to me under the terms of the SMA I have or if I have to re-purchase to keep Jaws up to date.
