Morey,
Which license do you have? If you have a Pro license, you will still have a
Pro license with JAWS 16. Only standard licenses are changed to Home Use
licenses.
Here's what FS says in the What's New section for JAWS 16:
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.

Hi all,
I have just installed Jaws 16 from the CD I received today. Now the
problem...It says it is the PRO version, and does not say anything about
the Home Version.
Has anyone else have this issue?
Thanks,
Morey Worthington
