That was my point exactly. Unless you don't plan on sticking with Jaws, why bother paying more for less? Makes no sense.

Re: Need Details On New Annual Jaws Home Subscription
Richard Turner <richardturner42@...>
I am one of those who was a strong supporter/user of Window-Eyes. I was extremely sad that VFO bought them out to finally kill it. That being said, GW Micro was paid a large sum of money by Microsoft to do the Office deal to get Window-Eyes for free. That version did not come with support, if someone wanted support, they had to pay an extra charge. The amount Microsoft paid has never been revealed. I am not going to get into the debate about which screen reader was better since there is no chance Window-Eyes is coming back.
Unless I am missing something really obvious here, the home license for essentially $60 per year is good on one computer. The new deal at $90 per year is good for up to three computers. So, if you are in a household with at least two Jaws users, that is a better deal. If you have only one computer, like myself and am the only one needing Jaws, then the SMA is a better deal.
And, also unless I am missing something, you have always been able to deactivate your license on one computer and put it on another one.
I will not be surprised that I have no idea what I’m talking about, but I’m happy with buying the SMA.

Hi Lorie,
I’m really sorry to hear this is still going on. I can’t believe that aproned posted that, he always seemed such a good guy, but my opinion of him has just dropped incredibly. I know it probably doesn’t seem like it, but honestly it will all die down and be forgotten about, stuff on the internet stays in the lime light for a week or two , then everyone loses interest. My advice is to just ignore the comments /post, just try and put it to the back of your mind and get on with your life, don’t let it stop you doing stuff like your acting. Honestly these people aren’t worth worrying about, they are all prepared to make these big bold comments whilst they hide behind their computers, none of them would have the balls to say half of the stuff they do face to face. I know I keep saying it, but just try and ignore the posts and I promise it will die down and be all forgotten soon. If you need to chat at any time I’m only ever a skipe away.

Re: Need Details On New Annual Jaws Home Subscription

I’m confused. Suppose I wanted to upgrade from JAWS 16,
which is the version I am currently using, to JAWS 2019. Are you saying
that under the new licensing arrangement I would only have to pay $90 for
the upgrade, versus about $480 if I went the SMA route? Or would I have to
pay $270 to cover JAWS versions 17,18, and 2018, on top of the $90 for JAWS
2019? Please clarify.

Subscription I think this is also an offer which would make it much less expensive for somebody who didn’t keep their SMA up-to-date to get current on Jaws. If, for example, somebody was still on Jaws 16 or even earlier they would have to pay several hundreds of Dollars to get current and then another $120 for the SMA. This way they can just subscribe for $90 a year and they are done. What I haven’t figured out yet is if this also applies for new Jaws users, e.g. if you don’t have Jaws at all, can you just pay $90 a year and download/use the latest version of Jaws and as long as you keep you rsubscription active then you can continue to do so? If so then this really is a good option for new Jaws users because instead of paying $900 or whatever Jaws costs + the cost of future SMA’s they would djust pay $90 a year. After 10 years you would have paid $900 which is I believe what Jaws Home costs, if you had bought it for $900 and then you would buy 5 SMA’s at $120/each you would have paid $1,500 after 10 years so if you are a new Jaws user then $90 a year really is a very reasonable price and who knows what happens in 5 or 6 let alpong 8 or 10 years, maybe Jaws won’t exist any more as such, maybe Microsoft buys them out and it gets merged with Narrator into Microsoft and becomes free, I certainly wouldn’t bet on Jaws being the leading screenreader in 10 years any more.

It sounds like it would be a bit more flexible since you don't have to fight with the activation as much if you use a lot of different computers, but otherwise it looks like a way to generate more revenue. I just renewed my SMa, they will have a little while longer to wait for my extra revenue.

Re: volume mixer moved
Rob Whyte <rob.whyte@...>
Hi,
I see no reason why a JAWS install would affect that. However, sndvol will launch the volume control, you should be able to pin it to your start menu or where ever you wish. cheers Rob Whyte Assistive Technology | Specialist Services | VisAbility Work days: Mon, Tue, Wed JAWS 2018 certified PO Box 82 North Hobart TAS 7002 62 Invermay Road, Launceston TAS 7248 164 Elizabeth Street, Hobart TAS 7000 T: 03 6232 1248 | F: 03 6232 1221 M: 0429 366 589 E: mailto:rob.whyte@... ________________________________________ From: main@jfw.groups.io [main@jfw.groups.io] on behalf of marvin kotler [m.kotler53@...] Sent: Friday, 2 November 2018 4:34 PM To: jfw@groups.io Subject: volume mixer moved Good evening list, Marv here.

If you have a .42 at the end of your version number if you check it in Jaws Menu > About then you are not on the current release and you should download it from the FS website and install over top of your current beta 2 version. Remember you do have to now license Jaws 2019 which requires 1 SMA.

I meant to say shared components and not sharded
components, sorry about that, and I found my answer.

So, if you want to fall back and uninstall when you
uninstall 2019 or any version for that matter, do you also remove sharded
components or leave them, freedom or Vispero now, puts a many installers in add
remove programs, so if someone could give the proper way to uninstall, I'd
really appreciate it.
