Hi Mike, I had to unplug my computer yesterday after I had the remote session with my tech since big thunderstorms were predicted and couldn't talk to FS about the activation problem with JAWS 9 until this morning.
The support person originally said he thought maybe my fire wall was blocking the activation or that the activation number was wrong and I had a bit of trouble telling him that JAWS 12 installed without a problem, but he finally seemed to understand my problem and agreed that it was "weird," He didn't suggest the fix your friend was given, but said he thought just uninstalling J9 would do the trick. I did it when we finished the conversation and JAWS 10 doesn't seem to be hollering to be activated. I mentioned having requested my activations be reset to the full number after the replacement sound card was installed the weekend before last and he said he could reset it to 3 and I could hear him typing. He didn't know if a confirmation message is supposed to be sent out. I checked a while ago and the web site still said I had 1 activation. I don't know if it takes time to become effective.

The fix for this problem, at least this is what we were told by FS tech support, was to run Jaws9 as a service but, in order to do this, Jaws9 has to be the Jaws version that starts when the computer / Windows starts. When you installed / authorized Jaws12, that should have authorized Jaws12 & all earlier Jaws versions that are installed on the computer. When you ask to have your activation keys renewed, they usually only give you 1 activation key now, where in the past they used to give you your limit of all 3. If I am incorrect or have misstated anything here, someone please jump in & correct me. Hope this helps. Take care. Mike P.S. You should probably call FS tech support to talk to them about this Jaws9 problem, just in case something has changed since the time I talked to them about our friends' problem with the program. ----- Original Message ----- From: Margaret Thomas To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, July 31, 2011 6:43 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 10 Not Talking on Boot Up If you are referring to my request to have my activation count re-set, I requested it a week ago and never heard. I don't know if the request got lost in the shuffle. As of earlier this morning, my count is 1, so I don't understand why J9 wants to be activated since it has been on My Desktop for a couple years. My memory is that I reluctantly installed JAWS 10 and was happily using J9 in normal mode. I apologize if you were referring to something else.
