My employer purchased a commercial license, and since I work at home as well, I have 2021 on both PCs. I'm glad to be done with all the little issues I was having. There are a lot of things I will have to learn on this new version though, since I was so far behind. Thanks all.

He has a perpetual license now.

 

But, he did not keep up with the Software Maintenance Agreements, SMA.

So, he would have to pay for the licenses to bring him current; which could be several hundred dollars, then he could stop with 2021 until it became out of date in a few years and then catch up again; or buy the licenses and the SMA and keep updating each year at the license renewal price.

 

Or, plan on just starting the annual subscription now at around $100 per year. 

 

It all dpeneds on whether he really needs Jaws in its full capacity.

He might find that NVDA would be enough for him if he has been limping along with Jaws 17 all this time.

Can’t one pay a thousand  dollars and own the product?  Has Freedom Scientific done away with the perpetual license  option altogether?  I thought the upgrading fee was only for upgrades of the product.  Not for the original product which was purchased.

If one can still purchase a perpetual license, one need never revert to demo mode at all.  Sent from Mail for Windows 10

OK. So I'm just now looking in to upgrading. I see that now JAWS is a

subscription service for home use. I'm trying to decide how I feel about

that. My initial reaction is that I would really like to just purchase

once and own it. what are your thoughts about that?
