Ken,
Dave Carlson gave you clear instructions on how to stop JAWS from verbalizing "bulk" in this context. Yes, it's annoying, but no one's intentionally doing it to you and the fix is so simple.
As he later says, go ahead and have your ISP reject these messages as spam. You'll miss a lot of good advice, but maybe for you that 's a small price.

Well, Peter, I just completed the activation re-set form, so will hopefully learn the outcome soon.
I am a bit distressed about FS's approach to the activation issue, since we all paid good money for various versions of Jaws over the years, but I guess that's the name of the game in the softwre design world today.

I used to do it over the website but FS once advised me that since I'm in the UK, taking in to account time difference, public holidays etc it would be best to contact my local distributor Sight and Sound. The last time Sight and Sound went to reset my activations they were told by FS that they couldn't do it. I then rang FS from the UK and had a debate with the person on the helpdesk and she reset my activation but only to 1, not 3.
I'm finding so much more that NVDA is working better with than JAWS that now I really won't be upgrading any further with JAWS after my SMA runs out. I also intend to take up all my issues with FS.

Peter:
Are you trying to re-set your activation count via the web site, or over the phone?
I'm about to embark on this process myself, out of necessity, so a curious mind wants to know. (smile)

Hmm, they have now refused to reset mine to more than one at a time. They claim I have had 33 activations in a few months. Can't think where they get that figure from and very annoying. I'm in the process of raising it as a complaint. They tried to sell me a dongle licence instead.

They are nice, but don't ask more than once every few months. If you're down to 1 they will sometimes bump you back up to 3. But no more than 3.

That's what I thought, so my next question is "How liberal is FS when
it comes to getting your activation count re-set if needed?

Hello there;
No, you will only receive 3 Regardless of which version you use,

Hi, all.
I'm between computers here, and have a question about Jaws activation counts.
I know I could call FS about this, but figured I might get a quicker answer from the list.
Regarding activations, does a single-license Jaws user like myself have
a given number of activations for each separate version of Jaws, or is the allotted number of 3 activations constant across all versions of Jaws collectively?
I am getting a couple of new computers set up for both office and home, and
am trying to figure out how best to proceed, while still keeping an older Windows XP machine around as a back-up in case that is needed as well.
I have Jaws 12, but a few earlier versions of Jaws that I could probably use if neded, if that would give me more activations to work with.
Thanks!
Tom from Michigan
