Gerald is right. However I avoid all this by assigning Ctrl+Alt+6 for JAWS 16, Ctrl+Alt+7 for JAWS 17. Have done the same since JAWS 11.

I went into properties under jaws 16 and deleted the key assignment, only each time I try assigning that key combo to jaws 17 in the property dialogue, instead of assigning the keystroke it starts up jaws 16. When I open the property dialogue under 16, it shows no hotkey assigned. What am I missing?
