Yes, you are right. The licensing information I gave from Freedom Scientific really is an activation-related issue. However, it still might be that the processor is 32-bit and Windows is 64-bit, in which case the 32-bit JAWS won't work on the 64-bit operating system. It wasn't clear to me when the message sender said that the laptop was 32-bit whether the processor or operating system was being referred to.
Take care.
