Hi Darrel, Are you saying that even if you don't roll back to a previous snapshot in VMWare Workstation, Jaws still de-authorizes itself?

The reason I ask is that I use three computers - a virtual machine on a MacBook Pro, my desktop, and a new laptop. Under Window-Eyes, as long as we adhered to their licensing requirements, we could have as many installs as we needed. With the new JAWS, that may not be the case. In that instance, I have issues about migrating. Worse, still, if a computer crashes, and we've gone through our allotted installs, I will not pay for another brand-new copy. This kind of "too bad, so sad" response has the prospect of generating customer bad will. Another example of the licensing issue appeared when I was working for the state. I needed to have eight PC's on a network running Window-Eyes. As long as I didn't run them all with WE at the same time, I only needed one copy. With an install limitation via JAWS, the state would have had to pay out more money, a disincentive for hiring us. Just my thoughts.--Matthew Chao On 5/15/2017 11:47 AM, Joseph Norton via Talk wrote: > You don’t even have to uninstall Window-Eyes. It will happily co-exist with > Jaws.
