Hi Adam, In case you didn't get these steps earlier. Here are steps on how to get your authorization number. From: Gene Warner 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! Gene Take care.

I apologise if I have upset or offended anyone by posting incorrectly or inappropriately. Firstly I have no idea why my signature was at the top of my email. This never happens; it is usually at the end. Secondly, I don't know what happened with my previous reply. When I hit reply and wrote the message it was there. I didn't do this intentionally to upset anyone or to be awkward. Thirdly I have a valid reason for needing the authorisation number but if anyone is really that bothered as to why I do, then here is my reason. My manager at work thinks it would be a good idea for me to put my copy of JAWS 18 Pro onto my personal laptop in case the need arises for me to work from home. As the authorisation CD is 200 miles away in London with my company's IT department. I just thought it might be simpler if I asked on here if there was a way to retrieve it. I apologise if that reason isn't good enough for anyone. Once again, many thanks for your assistance. Adam.
