Hmm. I don't recall any MacBook Pros that had less than two USB ports. On the non-retina models there are two on the left edge. On the newer non-CD Retina models there is one on both the left and right sides. CB On 8/31/14, 6:05 PM, Grant Hardy wrote: Hi Mark, Go ahead and set up Windows 7

Hello Eileen: You have two Dongles? I assume you have two separate licenses of JAWS, then? In any case, yes, if a Dongle is authorized for JAWS 15, then yes, it should work without issues. As for internet activation, there are really no guarantees whether or not updating the Boot Camp Support

Hi Chris, my point was that on such a machine (with two USB ports), with a Dongle taking up one of those ports, you’ll be practically restricted to just one USB port and would therefore have to purchase a USB hub if you need more. Grant On Sep 2, 2014, at 7:13 AM, 'Chris Blouch' via

The dongle must be authorised for a particular version of JAWS. You can plug it in and use the Dongle Viewer tool that comes with JAWS to see what version your dongles authorise now. If you are in need of an update file for your dongle, contact FS for the file and give them the serial
