Hi. I just had pretty much the same thing this week. I called freedom scientific about it and they told me I have 1 activation left. They also said that if I use all my activations they would reset it to 3 more. So I guess I can put jaws on 3 more computers now because I told them to reset it after I activated it. Just call them and tell them what you are trying to do. I would think you would get the same response as I did.

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Duck" <[email protected]> To: "Jaws List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2012 9:52 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Updating Old Computer to JAWS 13 > Hi Everyone, > > I have an old XP based laptop that is running JAWS 8.
