Gordon, that is exactly what I figured. I just wanted to make sure.

Subject: Re: Question I've always wondered about JAWS ILM Activation
The ILM is based on the hardware in the PC, as well as certain software
factors. In the scenario you illustrate below, you would end up with your
activated copy of Jaws again.

I own a copy of Terrabyte's Unlimited Image for Windows. I'm really
really curious.
Let's say that I make a complete system backup snapshot on a set of DVD's
from my copy of Image for Windows. And, further, let's say I do this
after activating JAWS 15. Now, say down the road something happens and I
wind up having a pc crash. I totally get that I'd lose an activation
tokan, but if it became a problem, within reason, FS would let me reset my
activations. I'm totally aware of that, as long as I don't obviously make
a habbit of it, which of corse, I wouldn't. I mean come on, it's nbot
like my pc's gonna crash every few months, god forbid. I heard however
somewhere that yeah, obviously, I'd have a new machine ID, which is what
the ILM is based on, thus, would have to reactivate, provided I installed
Windows again manually. However, I heard somewhere that being this DVD
set I made with Image for Windows is an exact! down to a T! 100% exact!
image of my system at the state when I did the backup, it will then
restore all the backed up partitions, all the soft
ware, all the licenses, all the registry keys, all my files and folders,
all my configuration settings, etc. Basically, it would be as if I'd
never crashed to start with. I've found this to be very very true to the
promise, but I never really have known with JFW how that would work out.
Someone told me that yes! It would restore the previous activation,
seeing that when imaged, it already was activated, so as far as JFW
thinks... there is no reason to activate. It's already been done. With
that said, would this work, or do you still think even though it's an
exact image, I'd still lose my activation. I know in the past, from what
little I recall, it did! also restore the license, but I just want to
check for confirmation. No, my system isn't having any issues, thank God,
I'm just asking more for informational purpose mainly.
Any ideas?
Chris.
