This is incorrect! There is a big difference between and update, and an upgrade. An update will have the same version number at the beginning, such as Jaws 18, and upgrade will have a completely new number such as Jaws2018. Updates to a particular version of Jaws are at no cost to the user, since they tend to correct issues in that version. however, upgrades do count against an SMA, since they introduce a new version of the software typically with new features.

No. JAWS 2018, as others have said, is a completely different version from JAWS 18. You need to install JAWS 2018 from your DVD and then check for updates before you will be "up to date".

It's starts all over, and you need to install it separately from JAWS 18. You can do this with the 2018 disc or by updating from the VFO website. If you install from the CD, you'll need to update the way you do with JAWS 18, except you'll use the JAWS 2018 menu system, or else (again) by going to the website -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gary Lee Sent: Friday, January 19, 2018 6:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws version confusion I understand how to get the version. what I have is jaws 18.0.4534.400 I have installed all updates that jaws has told me about. also received a jaws 2018 cd. just wondering if the updates I installed covered that. > On Jan 19, 2018, at 3:18 PM, Gary Lee <[email protected]> wrote: > > What version number should I see if I have the latest jaws 2018 installed? > I see jaws 18, but can’t get to the version right now. > > thanks for the help. > > > For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: > http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
