this is what FS responded
If you purchased the SMA with the JAWS� screen reading software version 16.0
release, it will enable you to obtain the next release or the next two
releases depending on the SMA you purchased. Therefore, if your SMA will
allow you to obtain the JAWS 17.0 release and the JAWS 18.0 release if this
is the following release after JAWS 17.0. If you have a SMA for the nenxt
release that enable you to get JAWS 17, you can’t not use JAWS 17 and use
JAWS 18.0 for your SMA.
so I guess there are many types of SMAs that can be purchased, you need to
ask about which one is best for your needs!

I will be very interested in what FS tells you. So, please put something in
your subject line about SMA and upgrades. I do not want to miss the answer.
Thanks. Neil

um, when I bought jaws 11 I FS gave me 3 SMAs and I did not use them until
15 came out. I used one to authorize 15 then when 16 came out I used
another! so I don't understand what your saying. I'll contact FS to
confirm what you say!

If you have one upgrade remaining, that's the sma. You have to use it for
17. If you try and use it for 18, you won't be authorized. It will know that
you've tried to skip, and it won't let you. I would encourage you to call FS
to verify what I'm saying to you. I just hate to see you waste a perfectly
good upgrade thinking that you can use it later when you can't.

well when I go to my help menu in jaws it still says 1 remote upgrade
remaining. I'm not sure if this is the SMA everyone speaks of, I don't even
know what a SMA is all I know is I can upgrade one more time!

Hi Kevin,
Unfortunately,, as far as I know you can't save SMA's. If you don't install
17, you still can't get 18 if you only have one SMA left. You've simply
wasted your SMA by not installing 17. Unless FS has changed something
recently that is.

the first major windows 10 update fixed the crashing that was happening
with jaws don’t ask how, but I am not experiencing jaws crashes anymore.
this is good because I won’t need to use a SMA to upgrade jaws, 16 latest is
good enough!
Email is golden!!!
