I used Migration Assistant to bring over all my settings, apps, etc from my iMac to my new MacBook Air, and all went well. When I first ran my windows7 VM, I had to reauthorize jaws - no problem. Then today, I was prompted to reauthorize windows itself - oh no. Well, I called microsoft and was surprised to get things done with very few hitches.
After an initial phone run around, I finally got to Tech Support, and they walked me through a phone activation of my new windows7 install on the MBA, reusing the activation code already in use by the windows7 VM on the iMac. It involved bringing up the phone activation dialog on the MBA by typing "slui 4" in the search box and hitting enter. Next, using the JAWS cursor, I had to read to them a series of 8 groups of six digit/letters, after which they read to me a similar series of 8 groups of six digits/letters which I had to type into 8 edit boxes. amazingly, it worked on the first try, even with the guy's somewhat foreign accent, we got all 16 groups of 6 digits read back and forth without an error. Now, both the iMac and Air windows VM's are activated and I didn't have to buy another key or deactivate the original on the iMac. All in all, Microsoft tech support was a good experience. I thought for sure I would have a nightmare struggling with the microsoft laviathon, but they were fairly easy to reach and okay to deal with. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
