Yes XP home is covered by the JAWS XP pro authorisation; and it is downward compatible. I would have thought that, in a work situation, it is worth the hundreds so that you won't have to reboot every 40 mins. Each forty-minute demo version lasts only six months from date of publishing. You will nneed to have an SMA with JAWS8 to be covered for Vista. I'll let someone else detail that one.

I was installing Jaws 8.0 onto a desktop at work. This was my first time installing Jaws at work. Until now, I have been using my laptop from home. The installation went fine. When it came to authorize Jaws, I put my authorization disk in and selected the internet option for registration. A message came up, saying that this application, is not authorized to run on: XP Pro, Windows 2000 and Nt. I then remembered, that I only have Jaws standard. Until now, that is all I have needed, as I run Windows XP Home, on my desktop at home and Windows ME on(my now old) laptop. My local Jaws distributor, says I can upgrade my Jaws to the Jaws Pro version, for about $270-$370(I have forgotten the exact price). That is Australian dollars, so don't pass out with the price all you American users "smile". My question is, what does Jaws Pro have, that Jaws Standard doesn't? I know I can just keep running Jaws in 40 minute mode on the work computer and just reboot, to get another 40 minutes. Is there a limit to how many 40 minute demoes you can do? I can get most of my work needs done by doing that. However, i am thinking that most other work places will have XP Pro as well. Therefore, I am wondering if it is just as well upgrading to Jaws Pro. I suppose too, that Windows Vista, will start to become more widely used over the next few years or so too. Would upgrading to Jaws Pro now, cover me for Windows Vista too, or is that not known yet? If I do go with Jaws Pro, is it downwards compatible i.e will I be able to run it on my home desktop, which is only running Windows XP Home and not Pro? Sorry for all the questions, but I don't know much about Jaws Pro. Look forward to hearing from you soon Jason --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list%40googlegroups.com/ In order to contact the management team simply fill out the following form found at: http://www.jaws-users.com/contact.php You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JAWS Users List" group.
