Hello David. Jaws will run fine on the machine. She does not need to copy the authorization. All she needs to do is either contact fs to get her authorization code. She can also go up to the fs website and there is a section for checking authorizations. She can then generate one if she doesn't know hers. All she will need is her unlock coe and serial number. This can be found on the cd or in the about jaws dialogue box on a computer she already has authorized. If you need further explanation feel free to email me at [email protected] and I can explain more clearly. What basically will happen when she has that code is she will install the latest version of jaws she is authorized for and choose authorize and follow the promts to authorize using a key on line. It is pretty self explanatory.

I have a student who is considering the purchase of a new netbook. My assumption is that most netbooks are installed with windows 7 Starter. If this is true I know that this OS is limited to 2 GB of RAM. Considering this what can she expect from overall performance when using this with a screen reader. She owns JAWS but is also willing to use NVDA. She is mainly interested in using her Web browser, email client, word processor and spreadsheet. Also, can the contents of the JAWS authorization CD be copied onto a USB thumb drive so that I can successfully install and activate her copy of JAWS?
