Perhaps you could contact and explain your situation now and as it will
be in your near future to FS, since they'd be the people best in the
know. Alternatively, you could use something like the free NVDA
screen-reader on your old laptop. www.nvda-project.org - to read more
and for a download.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Updating Old Computer to JAWS 13
Hi Everyone,
I have an old XP based laptop that is running JAWS 8. I basically
just use
it as a spare and use it very little, which is why it is still running
JAWS
8. On my main system, I am running JAWS 13. I would like to update
the old
laptop to JAWS 13. Here is my problem. I recall that sometimes but
not
always, when I have done a JAWS upgrade, I have had to reauthorize. I
only
have one authorization left and I don't want to waste it on that old
laptop
because I will probably be getting a new laptop before long and I will
need
that remaining authorization. Is there any way to know rather
upgrading the
old laptop will require me to reauthorize? I know that you can get
your
authorization count reset but I have already done that a couple times
over
the years and I suspect that there is a limit to how many times that
they
will do that. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott Duck
