I contacted FS to update my SMA and I was told that if JAWS was for my personal computer I no longer needed a pro version. If JAWS is to be loaded on a business computer under the ownership of a business and it was for work then I needed to pay more for the pro version. If you own the computer as an individual you do not need the pro version but if the computer belongs to a business then you do. That is what I understood from their sales office.

Standard Licenses Become "Home Use Edition for Non-Commercial Use" Most end users who are buying new computers today, end up purchasing systems that come with professional editions of Windows 7 or Windows 8. In order to make this easier and more affordable, we have changed the traditional JAWS Standard so it will now work on either Home or Professional versions of Windows. At the same time, we are changing the name from Standard to JAWS Home Edition and it is intended for Non-Commercial Use as well as ideal for anyone who intends to use JAWS on their personal laptop or desktop computer. Just like the JAWS Professional licenses, JAWS Home Use Edition licenses will allow JAWS 16 to install and run on both Home and Professional editions of Windows. When running a JAWS Home Use Edition license, JAWS will announce in both speech and braille "JAWS Home Use Edition" at startup. Also, the JAWS application window has been changed. The Title of the JAWS Window now says "JAWS Home Use" and in the main window area, it will display graphical text that says "Noncommercial Use Only". Finally, Home Use Edition is also displayed in the JAWS About dialog box which is accessed from the Help menu. JAWS 16 is designed to recognize all existing Standard licenses and will automatically work as a Home Use Edition now on both Home and Professional machines. All new licenses of JAWS 16 that are shipped will be set up using either the new Home Use Edition license or the traditional Professional license. In the case of Professional Licenses, JAWS 16 will now announce "JAWS Professional" in speech and braille at startup as well. Finally, we have included the option to purchase and use the JAWS Remote support to the Home Use Edition Licenses. This will allow your license to work in Remote Desktop, Terminal Services, or Citrix connections with other computers. Previously, this option was only available for purchase with JAWS Professional Licenses. -----Original Message----- From: Melissa Hambleton Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2014 1:49 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Difference between standard and professional I would like to know the difference between the standard and professional version of JAWS. I know one is for home use and the other is for school and/or business. What I would like to know is there differences in what JAWS can do or not do between these two versions? Especially since I have Office 2013 Home and Business edition, will the standard still work with this? Anything else will be appreciated.
