[nfbcs] jaws so sensitive is BS!

[b.schulz at sbcglobal.net]

Hi,

The desktop is shared so jaws wasn't used much and it's good to know that
updating to a more recent version like my main laptop will make jaws less
sensitive.
I wasn't trying to authorize jaws from a floppy disk.
Thanks,
Bryan

Hi,

The goal of JAWS authorization has always been to prevent wholesale piracy,
not to treat licensed users as criminals. A couple of years ago we revamped
things so that fewer changes in hardware will cause authorzation keys to
become invalid. In cases such as yours where a key needs to be reissued, you
won't be penalized for changing your hardware and will be given credit for
the "lost key."

We have a web site that allows you to reset your activation count.
https://fsactivate.freedomscientific.com/Activation/ResetRequest
There are limits on how often you can do this without interacting with a
human but if you haven't reset your count recently, this should be an
entirely automated process.

It is true that you can purchase a dongle to take with you, but assuming
that your machine configuration isn't  regularly changing, that's probably
not necessary.

--Glen

P.S. It's been over ten years since anything about JAWS authorization
involved floppy discs.

No, doing so would be defeating their copy protection, which would be
illegal.
