HI Simon, I assume you are talking about an ILM jaws authorisation? If so, yes, you will. My advice to you mate is tell them you are working in a VM and get a dongle. Ifr you don't have a dongle, you will be forever having to reset your ILM authorisation key count as you will be reauthorising every time you make a change to your vm etc. It seems to be more picky under a vm. For example, if you want to change your amount of ram, reauthorise, change the size of your hard disk, reauthorise, I think you get the picture.

I'm after the content. I also wondered, hoping that you might have some expereince with it, about Jaws authorisation. At the moment I have Jaws running under windows xp in boot partition. Once I install fusion, I understand I will have an option of incorporating that boot partition into the virtual drive - excuse my non-technical language here. Do you know what might happen to my authorisation of Jaws 7.1? I know Freedom Scientific are very precious about their product. I had to authorise Jaws again after just adding my 2 GB of RAM. How strange. I have a feeling I may have to authorise Jaws again should I incorporate my bootcamp partition. Thanks so much again for all your help.
