All, On the What's New page, we have included a section now with FAQs. I have included them below to help answer questions many of you might have. Thanks, Eric Frequently Asked Questions Question: If I download the JAWS 9.0 release from the Web, should I install JAWS from the CD when I receive it? Answer: No. You only need to install the training materials that are on the JAWS program CD. This information is available in a digital document format known as DAISY (Digital Accessible Information System). To install these files, do the following: 1. Insert your JAWS program CD into your CD drive. 2. When the JAWS Setup dialog box appears, press TAB to move to the Training Materials button, and then press SPACEBAR. 3. In the JAWS Training Materials dialog box, select the check box next to each DAISY book that you want to install. 4. Choose the Install button. 5. When the installation is finished, remember to put your JAWS program CD in a safe place so you will have it for future use when needed. Note: If you download JAWS from the Web, the training materials are not included. This is to reduce the size of the download. If you like, you can download and install the training files from the JAWS Training Headquarters <http://www.freedomscientific.com/Training/JAWS_training_hq.asp#basic> on the Freedom Scientific Web site. Question: If I wait until my CD arrives to install JAWS 9.0, should I also download the version that is available on the Web? Answer: No, but once you have installed JAWS 9.0 from the CD, you should check for updates by pressing ALT+H from the JAWS program window, and then pressing P to select Check for Updates. Question: If I've been installing and using the JAWS public beta releases, should I remove the public beta before installing the official JAWS 9.0 release? Answer: No. You may install the JAWS 9.0 release over the JAWS public beta release or just use the Check for Update feature in the Help menu. Remember, the public beta will expire on December 1, 2007, so be sure to update to the final release as soon as possible. Question: If I remove my existing version of JAWS before installing JAWS 9.0, should I remove shared components? Answer: Yes, however, remember that you will not have speech between removing your current JAWS version and installing JAWS 9.0. If you download JAWS 9.0 from the Web, copy the executable file to a location that is easy to find without speech. Question: When should I receive my JAWS 9.0 English release CD? Answer: You should receive your CD by the first week of December 2007 at the latest. You may receive it sooner or later depending on where you live; we have taken steps to make sure they arrive in all markets at the same time. Question: If I recently received JAWS 8.0, how do I get JAWS 9.0? Answer: If you purchased JAWS 8.0 after September 15, 2007, you can download the JAWS 9.0 release for free from the Freedom Scientific Web site. Remember that you can verify the current version you're entitled to on www.fsactivate.com <http://www.fsactivate.com/> if you know your serial number. Question: If my SMA expires, will I receive a notice? Answer: Customers in the U.S. will receive notification in the mail shortly after the JAWS 9 CD arrives. The envelope will have a braille label on the outside, and it will contain an SMA Renewal letter explaining the process in print and braille. This form to renew your SMA is also available for download now from the Freedom Scientific Web site. Select the SMA Renewal Form link <http://www.freedomscientific.com/> located under the Software News heading. Renewal prices are discounted if you purchase JAWS 9.0 before the end of the year.
