I rang up Freedom Scientific last year as I wanted a reset of my activation. I told them that I was running Jaws on my Mac under Fusion and as soon as the representative heard that he said he would not support me by giving me a new activation unless I wanted it for a native windows PC. This year I went to Site Village (an exhibition for all access Technology) and Eric Damerie was there and I told him that I was running Jaws on a Mac and he simply did not approve.
