Hi Gene, Good find! Everyone should save a copy of their authorization & serial numbers for both JAWS & Openbook in a text file that can be accessed quickly when needed. I can't count how many times I've needed this information when updating Jaws or Openbook. Thanks much. Take care.

Hi Everyone! Ignore my previous question, I found it, and in doing so, may have found a way for Adam to get his full authorization code, at least it worked for me. This will only work on an already activated copy of JAWS. Steps: 1. Press the JAWS key + the J key, for me it is Insert+J 2. Go to the help sub menu. 3. Go to the Update authorization option 4. You'll get a dialog with several buttons, click the Start Authorization button. 5. In this dialog, choose manual activation, then click next. 6. In this next dialog there is a read only field with your locking code, and two input fields, one has your entire authorization code, the other is for your license code or serial number. 7. Copy the authorization code, then cancel out of the dialog. hth Cheers!
