Hi:
I felt rather proud of myself a few days ago. This is on Windows, but I was able to activate the ilok key for a demo of autotune 8. This did involve using OCR with Jaws. Once you click on the "sign in" button, which is recognized by the ocr, you will be on the username field. Type in your user name and tab once to the password and enter that in. Tab once and there is a check box "remember password" I think. Tab again and you will be on the "next" button. Press enter. Do another OCR. If you did everything right, you should see a fair representation of your ilok and the licenses on it. If something went wrong, you'll see an "account problem" message. You'll need to press enter and retype everything. Just to be sure, press end and backspace over any characters that are there. When you are logged in, try running OCR after pressing tab several times. If you see something like "show all licenses, click on it and run OCR. If you see the name of the license you want to transfer, right click on it. This will bring up a menu but it won't be spoken. Pressing a should select the "activate license option, but do another OCR to be sure. Press enter. You will be in the "choose location" dialog. Do an OCR and find the name of your ilok and do that weird lock and release click. You should be asked "do you want to activate?" Find OK or Yes or whatever and click it. You should see "successful." I know this is not in any way a practical solution, and it doesn't let Pace off the hook, but if you really need to get your software going it's worth a try. There obviously is no way to do this on a Mac with voice over. I can't understand why a program that is strictly a utility like a license manager can't be writen as normal html or in Java. It's not like it has to look glitzy or something, it's just an installation for God's sake.
