My believe is that the $120 was the price if you were running the latest version of Window-Eyes, that is 9.5.4 otherwise there was a slightly higher amount for users who were not on the latest version. Regards, John -----Original Message-----

When I migrated from Window-Eyes to JAWS I had to pay $180. I just have the home edition. Why would this be?

However, logistically, $5 a month would cost FVO more than $120 every two years - cost in terms of logistics, processing, cost of processing, recording, etc. Best from, Carolyn -----Original Message----- From: main@jfw.groups.io [mailto:main@jfw.groups.io] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Tuesday, June 13, 2017 6:24 PM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Re: Jaws updates Not sure how that works and if you can even buy single upgrades. Given that if you have Jaws Home maintaining an SMA costs you all of $5 a month I don't know why you wouldn't simply buy the SMA every two years. It's I think $120 every two years and you get two major versions, so it's $60 per version. Jaws unlike NVDA is not a nonprofit organisation and as a business owner myself I definitely don't begrudge them this relatively minor amount of money. I know some people who don't work and are on some sort of assistance feel this is a heartship, but $5 a month I don't think can be considered a heartship as most of us spend this and more on al sorts of incidental items whether it's a fancy coffee, a beer once a week or cigarettes, in fact somebody who smokes usually wastes a lot more than $5 a month.
