That’s what I got as well, even though the email from FS reminding me of the renewal seemed to talk about links to all the options. So to find the three and five year options, pick the shop online link from the main FS website, then the software for home link, then the JAWS Home Annual link, and then scroll down and you’ll find the link for the three and five year options after the description of the one year license.

When I go to renew my Jaws Home license, I don’t get any options for anything other than a one year renewal.
What does one have to do to get the option for three or five year license renewals?

Actually, I’m almost thinking it might be a late charge for not purchasing the SMA by the end of last year, as I recall that prices used to go up for the SMA if one waited until after the end of the year when using their last SMA count. In fact, since I was waiting until the conventions to decide which type of license to renew, I hadn’t yet purchased the 2023 and 2024 SMA and so also got the $210 price when I put in my serial number, but then I got the lower $168 price, actually $178 something with sales tax, after going to the checkout page.
Also, when I checked the JAWS Home Annual license page, it did show me the lower price from the $95 for each year, but then it said that lower price was the regular price.
Thus, I’m kind of wondering two things, so maybe I’ll be in line to call FS on Tuesday as well. First, regarding the SMA, is the $120 price only for those folks who renewed their SMA in what FS considers a timely manor, or is it for anyone who is currently running a 2022 license of JAWS? And second, regarding the discount for the three and five year Home Annual licenses, is this a discount for the conventions only, or is it now the normal discount for purchasing so many years at one time?
Finally, and I hope this will make sense, below I’ll copy and paste what I got when checking my serial number on the upgrade page, what I saw when bringing up the checkout page for the SMA, and finally what is shown on the store page regarding the three year Home Annual license:
Congratulations! Our records show that you are licensed for release 2022 of JAWS Single User and are eligible to renew your SMA for $210. This will entitle you to receive JAWS Single User releases up to version 2024.

FS must think you have the professional, because the Home edition shouldn't cost but $120 . ----- Original Message ----- From: "William Vandervest" <timelord09@...> To: <main@jfw.groups.io> Sent: Saturday, July 2, 2022 6:39 PM Subject: Re: Convention Discounts On JAWS Annual License

That must have been for the professional, most people don't need the professional license. ----- Original Message ----- From: "William Vandervest" <timelord09@...> To: <main@jfw.groups.io> Sent: Saturday, July 2, 2022 5:49 PM Subject: Re: Convention Discounts On JAWS Annual License
I just purchased my sma renewal for $168.00 but I didn't learn about that price until I got to the cart on the FS site, until I got there it waslisted at $210.00.

This is how I understand it. If you paid the initial license price of $950 for JAWS and have kept your SMAs up to ddate, then SMAs are better because they only cost $60 per year with the discount and $75 per year without the discount. But if you can't afford the initial license price of $950, then the annual license is better because it doesn't require that initial huge outlay of cash.
