Hi Andy, I can't say this will work everytime, but if it works for you then, that's all it takes. It has worked for me in the past.
This will only work on an already activated copy of JAWS. Steps: 1. Press the JAWS key + the J key, for me it is Insert+J 2. Go to the help sub menu. 3. Go to the Update authorization option 4. You'll get a dialog with several buttons, click the Start Authorization button. 5. In this dialog, choose manual activation, then click next. 6. In this next dialog there is a read only field with your locking code, and two input fields, one has your entire authorization code, the other is for your license code or serial number. 7. Copy the authorization code, then cancel out of the dialog. hth Cheers! Gen Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sent from my iBarstool. Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement. In the end you have to ignore everything, & click I agree. ----- Original Message ----- From: Andy Shields To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2017 6:40 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] URGENT! Authorization number? Hello, Yes, I know, "don't shout", but I have a JAWS-RELATED work emergency and need immediate help from someone on this list if possible. The short version is that a workstation critical for every aspect of my job keeps giving me the choice of "demonstration mode for 40 minutes", or activating "full version", which is already there and has been for years. To confirm and use that version I need the authorization code. I don't have the CD which contains it, and the supervisor who does is away. Is there a place within the JAWS menu or Help to find that authorization code? I think I used to know this. Thank you all for anything you can tell me.
