Re: [JAWS-Users] Updating Old Computer to JAWS 13
hi, I believe the "number of times" is within a year, not over several years, but you can always talk to them about it. your allowed to use jaws on more than one machine that you own, they normally say three machines (one home, one portable and one work machine) but off the record I've been told that they don't pay to much attention until you get to six or more authorizations in a couple months time span, or if the authorizations are done from too many different internet locations(one is fine, 2 is ok, three or more and they are going to be wondering what your doing since home and work are the two... most likely spots for authorization requests to come from) I myself have five authorized machines, all are mine, in my house (normally one is a netbook mobile unit) and they have been authorized over a year and a half time span so I don't fit the "selling jaws authorizations" pattern and haven't been bothered with. so talk to a rep and let him know about your wish to upgrade your mobile and the possibility of a new replacement machine in the near future.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Updating Old Computer to JAWS 13
Hi. I just had pretty much the same thing this week. I called freedom scientific about it and they told me I have 1 activation left. They also said that if I use all my activations they would reset it to 3 more. So I guess I can put jaws on 3 more computers now because I told them to reset it after I activated it. Just call them and tell them what you are trying to do. I would think you would get the same response as I did. -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Flor Lynch Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2012 6:41 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Updating Old Computer to JAWS 13 Perhaps you could contact and explain your situation now and as it will be in your near future to FS, since they'd be the people best in the know.
