Just to add to this. If you run out of keys call freedom scientific and ask them to reset the number of activations.

Hi There is not a way to transfer an activation key from your computer back to the FS server.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to deactivate Jaws
Hi I sent this last message before I should have. My full reply follows. There is not a way to transfer an activation key from your computer back to the FS server. You just have to use your last key, and then request another 3 keys from FS. You can deactivate JAWS on your old computer by going to the start menu, all programs, jawsxx (where xx is your JAWS version), tools and select remove product activation. However This will not add to your number of activations available. So I would deactivate it on your old computer when you know the new one is working and have transferred what you want to it. You should deactivate JAWS on the old computer before you get rid of it or you won't be in compliance with the JAWS license. -Original Message- -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mike O'Brien Sent: Sunday, October 14, 2012 12:38 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] How to deactivate Jaws Hi There is not a way to transfer an activation key from your computer back to the FS server.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to deactivate Jaws
you don't need to bother with this unless your going to give the unit to someone else who would use the jaws, even if you gave it to a wife/significant other or even a child in the same house there would not likely be any problems HTH, elf .

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to deactivate Jaws
That is because you don't have to. if you have any activations left it will use one of them. If you have none left then you will have to request more from FS from the FS activate page. Keys can never be reclaimed just used. At 08:22 AM 9/22/2011, you wrote: Hello List I am waiting for my new laptop. How does one deactivate jaws on the old one to activate it on the new one?

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to deactivate Jaws
Hi Fanus; As Trouble stated, you don't need to deactivate Jaws. You are allowed to run Jaws on as many as 3 computers, providing they are all your own computers, at least that is what I understand, if I'm wrong, someone please jump in to straighten me out. Below are steps on how to find out how many activation keys you have remaining how to get a reset of your activation keys. I posted a question to FS about how to determine the number of activation keys remaining. In case any of you wanted to find out, here are their instructions, verbatim: Thank you for contacting Freedom Scientific Support. We suggest going to FSACTIVATE.com http://www.fsactivate.com 2. Click on the continue product activation button. 3. Down arrow to: Verify the number of activation keys available for your Freedom Scientific product and press enter. 4. Down arrow to serial number and again down arrow to edit. Type in your JAWS serial number and press enter on the submit button. 5. Underneath the first seven digits of the authorization number, you will find the number of keys remaining. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. Hope this has helped. Take care. Mike Original Message - From: Farfar Carlson Installing JAWS and Not Burn a Key This is relevant to Windows XP, so your folder names may be different. Also this is only a suggested process and the author will not assume any liability if it does not work as advertised on your system. But others have used it with success. PREPARATION Before you make any changes to your system you must preserve two folders on another drive or partition so you can copy them later. Do this now while you're thinking about it. Doing this after you've made changes is useless. 1. Open C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific 2. Copy the folder called 'activator' 3. Paste this folder to some other drive on your computer or an external backup drive to keep it safe. 4. Do the same for the folder 'authorization'. 5. Now you will have these two folders preserved for when you need them later. Don't lose them or forget where you put them. 6. If you have some sort of archiving software or a synchronization software, set it up so that these two folders are automatically backed up. Then you don't even need to think about them. UPDATING JAWS If you update your version of JAWS it is recommended you recopy these two folders after the install is complete. Again if you use an automatic backup process you don't need to worry about this step. USING THESE FOLDERS Follow these steps if you are ever confronted with the message to re-authorize your installation of JAWS. This can occur if you change some hardware, or add a drive or RAM. 1. Be sure to be running the newest version of JAWS when you restart your computer. If you don't, the activation may not cover all versions you have installed. So if you have version 9, 11, and 12 installed, be sure to boot using JAWS 12. 2. If or when the activation dialog comes up, cancel out of the dialog. 3. Copy the two folders 'activator' and 'authorization' from your backup drive. 4. Paste both to the C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific folder. 5. Allow all files to be overwritten. 6. Reboot your computer. CAVEATS This should work as long as you do so on the same machine (computer). It is not known to work if you try to paste these two folders onto the C: drive of a different computer. That would obviously violate the whole purpose of the keys -- to prevent JAWS from being installed on too many computers.
