Hello Gordon,
From my understanding you can buy the ILM version of Jaws with a dongle.
That way you would have your three keys as well as the dongle to make
Jaws portable.
I have Jaws running on 3 machines and also have a dongle.
Also, you can get a reset of your ILM keys if for example you have
formatted a machine or updated hardware.
I think they will allow something like one reset to 3 keys every month
or so but after that if the reset request gets too high they may refuse
but can't varify that.
The reset can be done by a web form and gets approved by Freedom
scientific during business hours in the USA.

Hello everybody
As a result of quite a let of frustrations when using Dushbury Braille
Translator with both NVDA 2013.3 and Window-Eyes version 8.3, I have
opened discussions with appropriate parties with a view to acquiring
Jaws version 15 for Windows Vista/7/8/8.1 64-29t operating systems. It
is quite likely that a purchase will take place sooner rather than later.
I'm currently mulling over the advantages and disadvantages of each
flavour of Jaws, as in Jaws Professional Dongle and Jaws Professional AT.
Obviously, if we decide to acquire the dongle version of Jaws, it
would mean that I could deploy Jaws on to multiple machines and there
would be no problem running it as and where required. However, it would
obviously mean that only one machine could be used at a time.
Therefore, the Internet activated version would give me 3 activation
keys. The disadvantage being that there is no mechanism currently in
place to redeem an activation should a deployment need to be moved from
one machine to another, with the original being deactivated.
The only method "one could use for doing this would be to go through
the dealership and hope for their cooperation. Were this not to be
forthcoming, any re-deployment plans would have to be scrapped.
As we all know, as current technologies change, so it sometimes
becomes necessary to upgrade hardware. So effectively, such
re-deployment would then be at the discretion of the Jaws dealer and/or
Freedom Scientific themselves.
I would welcome constructive comment regarding which edition of Jaws
others would think most advantagious, and why. Currently, I'm tending
to think that the Internet activated edition would be the best way to
go. But there may be factors which I have not considered, hence my
throwing the discussion open to the group.
Another factor to consccder, I guess, is that Duxbury is also based on
an Internet activation mechanism. However, in this case, the removal of
the product from a machine also resets the activation status if that
machine is on line at the time of removal. But continually installing,
removing and reinstalling would be urksome and probably
counterproductive. therefore, frequent redeployment would be unlikely.
Comment welcome, and constructive comment even more so.
Kind regards
