I think I know what the question actually is and the answer. Morey, I'm assuming you bought a license for your own computer, not one that you use at a business, school, etc. In that case, I'm guessing the reason your new version is still showing the "pro" license is that it reflects the SMA you purchased a year or so ago. The next time you buy an SMA, JAWS will say "Home." Just make sure that you tell FS that your use of JAWS falls within their new "home" specifications.
Note that those of us with pro versions of JAWS who use it on our own systems won't be offered a retroactive discount for SMA's purchased before this new pricing was announced. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gary King via Jfw Sent: Sunday, November 16, 2014 12:23 PM To: Morey Worthington; The Jaws for Windows support list. Subject: Re: New install version 16 Morey, Which license do you have? If you have a Pro license, you will still have a Pro license with JAWS 16. Only standard licenses are changed to Home Use licenses. Here's what FS says in the What's New section for JAWS 16: Standard Licenses Become "Home Use Edition for Non-Commercial Use" Most end users who are buying new computers today, end up purchasing systems that come with professional editions of Windows 7 or Windows 8. In order to make this easier and more affordable, we have changed the traditional JAWS Standard so it will now work on either Home or Professional versions of Windows. At the same time, we are changing the name from Standard to JAWS Home Edition and it is intended for Non-Commercial Use as well as ideal for anyone who intends to use JAWS on their personal laptop or desktop computer. Just like the JAWS Professional licenses, JAWS Home Use Edition licenses will allow JAWS 16 to install and run on both Home and Professional editions of Windows. When running a JAWS Home Use Edition license, JAWS will announce in both speech and Braille "JAWS Home Use Edition" at startup. Also, the JAWS application window has been changed. The Title of the JAWS Window now says "JAWS Home Use" and in the main window area, it will display graphical text that says "Noncommercial Use Only". Finally, Home Use Edition is also displayed in the JAWS About dialog box which is accessed from the Help menu. JAWS 16 is designed to recognize all existing Standard licenses and will automatically work as a Home Use Edition now on both Home and Professional machines. All new licenses of JAWS 16 that are shipped will be set up using either the new Home Use Edition license or the traditional Professional license. In the case of Professional Licenses, JAWS 16 will now announce "JAWS Professional" in speech and Braille at startup as well. Finally, we have included the option to purchase and use the JAWS Remote support to the Home Use Edition Licenses. This will allow your license to work in Remote Desktop, Terminal Services, or Citrix connections with other computers. Previously, this option was only available for purchase with JAWS Professional Licenses.
