Hi Russ,

No I sure don't, but I think it's around $180.00 at full price, and around
$120.00 at the discounted price.

Hi Russ,

Yes your friend should be able to upgrade to J2018 with no problems, but,
he'll have to pay full price for the SMA being he didn't buy the upgrade SMA
prior to January 1 of this year.  On the other hand, if he purchases the SMA
it'll be good for both J2018 & J2019.  To be absolutely sure of his options
he should call call them ath number below to make sure of his choices.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS sma question

[Valiant8086]

Hi.



If you try to do this shortly before the next version of JAWS is 
released that you won't have a license for, the cost should be around 
$160. maybe they won't always have that sale but it seems to me they 
have done it for a couple years now. When you get the letter in the mail 
letting you know that this is the last version you can use on your SMA, 
that letter will probably mention the savings if you want to activate it 
right then.



Also, you already know that you'll be good for 2018 and 2019 both before 
you have to spend that again right?



I personally think the up front cost of purchase is high, but I feel the 
cost of the SMA especially in the sale price window is pretty 
reasonable, at least for the home use one. 80 dollars for a year is 
pretty doable for most folks.

[Adrian Spratt]

Ask VFO, but I believe the condition is that the SMA be bought within two years 
of the previous SMA or JAWS purchase. Having JAWS 18 implies this criterion is 
met. But I may be overlooking something.

Jerry,

Each time you install a major version of JAWS, one of your upgrades will
disappear. If you install JAWS 18, you will be down to 1 upgrade. When you
install JAWS 2018 you will be down to zero upgrades.

If you never install a JAWS version above 17, you will always have two
upgrades available. However you will not get any upgrades beyond JAWS 2018,
because your SMA allows you two upgrades past your current version of JAWS
17. If you want to go beyond JAWS 2018, I recommend you install both JAWS 18
and JAWS 2018, and contact VFO to purchase a new pair of upgrades. You won't
be able to go beyond JAWS 2018 if you don't purchase any new SMA. And I
suspect that not purchasing new SMA later this year will mean you will pay
big $$$ if/when you finally do upgrade past JAWS 2018.

If this is as clear as mud, call VFO at 800-444-4443 in the U.S. or your
local dealer.

be able to go beyond JAWS 2018 if you don't purchase any new SMA. And I
suspect that not purchasing new SMA later this year will mean you will pay
big $$$ if/when you finally do upgrade past JAWS 2018.

If this is as clear as mud, call VFO at 800-444-4443 in the U.S. or your

I was checking on how many SMA upgrades I have, and I found out I have 2

Jerry,

Each time you install a major version of JAWS, one of your upgrades will
disappear. If you install JAWS 18, you will be down to 1 upgrade. When you
install JAWS 2018 you will be down to zero upgrades.

If you never install a JAWS version above 17, you will always have two
upgrades available. However you will not get any upgrades beyond JAWS 2018,
because your SMA allows you two upgrades past your current version of JAWS
17. If you want to go beyond JAWS 2018, I recommend you install both JAWS 18
and JAWS 2018, and contact VFO to purchase a new pair of upgrades. You won't

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS SMA Upgrades Inquiry

[Eric Damery]

Look at the about box for JAWS 17 in your JAWS help Menu. If it states you have 
SMA 2 remaining, then just download and install JAWS 2018 and it will work now. 
Otherwise, choose "update authorization" in your help menu and let it update 
your authorization key install on the computer. It should then reflect SMA 2 
remaining if that is what you have.

If this is still not clear, the Tech Support people will be happy to assist you 
on this.

The confusion here has been caused a misinterpretation of the deal, which is
somewhere on the FS Web site, that, it doesn't matter to what you've agreed
to with FS when you bought an SMA from them. IT CERTAINLY DOES. When you buy
an SMA, you pay for the version you're buying plus THE NEXT TWO versions, IN
ADVANCE OF your GETTING THEM WHEN PRODUCED BY FS FOR YOUR USE. (Whether you
upgraded your version of JAWS on your computers or not, you've paid for the
upgrade beforehand when you purchased an SMA.) There is no skipping of
upgrades within the SMA. If people have second thoughts about SMA's, then
you don't purchase them and you can then skip any upgrade you don't like.
The deal is that you get a version a bit cheaper because you've purchased an
SMA, and that version is the next consecutive version, one or two versions,
depending on what stage you're at in the Agreement.

I  have seen nothing saying that one has to upgrade everytime that a new

2 SMA's remaining, and you choose not to upgrade to 18, then you will still
have 2 SMA's when versions 19 and 20 are released. I just used my last SMA
to upgrade to 17, and I did renew my SMA's, but the FS salesperson did not
state that they were for Jaws 18 and 19, nor did the sales receipt that I

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws SMA info

[Rose Combs]

You do not take into account updates to Windows 10, or future enhancements
of JAWS.  Both could be minor or significant.  
For example, Windows 10 Edge is not really usable and why they released
without accessibility in mind when it is supposedly the default browser
makes no sense to me.  However, in the future Microsoft may actually
understand how to make accessibility work in every product they make and
include it just as they include all the eye candy.  Notice, I say May there.

If say in a year they have actually found a way for screen readers to hook
into Edge and by doing so they can offer us great accessibility, far better
even that we have in IE 11, updating JAWS would be essential to those in the
workforce for example.  
If you are going to play in technology, you need to stay at least moderately
up-to-date.  
That said, I have not updated to Windows 10 because I am here alone with no
eyes to help if I get in trouble and trust me, lately I find trouble easily.
I will eventually get there but, I don't need to do that right now, so it
will wait until either I have more confidence in my ability, eyes to assist,
or I have no choice.  It isn't happening today, probably not even before the
New Year but eventually it will.  I held onto Windows 98 for a couple of
years after XP mainly because it was easy to fix if I had problems being
able to reinstall or correct from the disks I had.  I held off on Vista
until I had to get a new computer.  I deliberately bought a new computer
about 3 months after Windows 7, but I have not touched 8, in fact, I gave
away a Windows 8 computer days after my late husband passed.  I bought a
laptop for work last spring but, it had to have 7 on it.  Right now it is
totally messed up from the job I could not keep due to much inaccessible
software I had been told would work, some in Silverlight, web forms that
hung ... and they truly messed up the laptop.  If I upgrade to 10 it will be
the first one since I seldom use it, and, in fact, can only use it to a
limited degree right now.  One reason I don't use it is the keyboard, too
flat, large trackpad in front and my arms are short.  I have a cordless
keyboard also but discovered that often it misinterpreted things.  
Anyway, I know one cannot stand still, technology moves on, I started with
JAWS FOR WINDOWS Thanksgiving weekend in 1998 and I think it was version 2.0
or 3.0.  The internet, JAWS itself, programs needed to communicate, work,
even play have come a long way in the past 17 years, I can't imagine myself
still using that first version of JAWS today.  I am only recently retired,
but, for me at least keeping my main screen reader up-to-date will remain a
part of my toolbox for as long as I can use a computer.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws SMA info

[Brent Harding]

I think this is probably not so simple any more like it was for XP, 7, and 
8. Even if 10 is to be the last version of Windows, it will be updated on a 
faster scale than ever before. This has the potential to break accessibility 
in a way that the current version of Jaws, or any screen reader, may not 
handle well if left forever on an old version.

I couldn't make heads or tails of that message.  It used to be that an SMA 
bought two versions.  But let us not forget that FS has been taken over by a

can’t not use JAWS 17 and use JAWS 18.0 for your SMA.

so I guess there are many types of SMAs that can be purchased, you
need to ask about which one is best for your needs!

Hi Kevin,
Unfortunately,, as far as I know you can't save SMA's. If you don't
install 17, you still can't get 18 if you only have one SMA left.
You've simply wasted your SMA by not installing 17. Unless FS has
changed something recently that is.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws SMA info

[Eric Damery]

I encourage you to also contact the Customer Service people and look at the 
best possible options for upgrading and getting an SMA at the same time. And of 
course, make sure you are on the Home Edition if you qualify. When your license 
has fallen behind 2 or more years, it can get very pricey to get caught up 
which is why the SMA program is so good. For Home Edition, it works out to 
about $60 per year. Anyway, please talk to Customer Service and make sure you 
know the best options.

Eric

If you recently updated your SMA, your about box might not show it unless you 
also update your authorization from the Help Menu. The About Box gets the info

I just purchased mine. There is a discounted price of $120 until Dec 31. 
this is for 18 and 19.
I had to call, there was a glitch somewhere. I entered my serial number and 
was informed that I am not registered. When I called it is registered. MY 
serial number is within the first 50 numbers issued. I believe 1995. I had 
jaws for dos a few years prior to jfw. Previously I had the talking 
computers from Dean Blazy, that is where I first met Ted Hinter. He was the 
programmer for Maryland computer Services. There is an interesting story on 
my web page about the first talking computer linked to an IBM main frame

for 17. If you try and use it for 18, you won't be authorized. It
will know that you've tried to skip, and it won't let you. I would
encourage you to call FS to verify what I'm saying to you. I just
hate to see you waste a perfectly good upgrade thinking that you can
use it later when you can't.

well when I go to my help menu in jaws it still says 1 remote upgrade
remaining.  I'm not sure if this is the SMA everyone speaks of, I
don't even know what a SMA is all I know is I can upgrade one more time!

Hi Kevin,
Unfortunately,, as far as I know you can't save SMA's. If you don't
install 17, you still can't get 18 if you only have one SMA left.
You've simply wasted your SMA by not installing 17. Unless

but if one chooses to just stick with jaws 16.0.4463
running windows 10 won't you be ok forever because microsoft will not be 
creating any OS higher than 10 and jaws 16.0.4463 works fine.

I couldn't make heads or tails of that message.  It used to be that an SMA 
bought two versions.  But let us not forget that FS has been taken over by a 
new parent company, so who knows what changes are forthcoming?

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws-sma

[Jose]

you will need to contact fs and ask, because some places don't take checks, 
or e.f.t. and that's how banks pay for there bill pay stuff.


you could probbly use a debit card. i know that bank of america will allow 
you to create a debit card in the cloud. you set the exp date, and load how 
much money you want to use. it's for on line shopping. it keeps your real 
card/bank account from being stolin. I hope this helps.

I would think you could.  My bank permits me to send personal checks to
individuals.  Ask your bank if this is possible.  Just fill out the
necessary information on your on line site, and send the payment that way.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws-sma

[Virgil Cook]

A toll-free call to Freedom Scientific could probably get the answer for
you.  The number is 800-444-4443.  I usually renew my SMA by phone, giving
them a credit-card number.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws-sma

Yes, I'm sure you can; they take debit and credit cards; and most on-line 
banking sites have a spot where you can fill in the recipient info with a 
memo field so the bank can generate a check to Freedom Scientific.
