What do you know about how JAWS authorization works?

Steve Matzura
This is the big mystery question. I have encountered things over the
years that have broken my authorizations such that I had to wind up getting a dongle to solve one annoying problem, such as adding memory or even adding a driver for a USB device which, when connected, changes the machine's footprint ID, making JAWS think it's a different machine. I am now faced with a computer that has as much memory in it as it's going to get, but with one out of two possible installed drives. I'll turn on the other drive, which is a BIOS tweak, before proceeding with the following. I am planning on installing two more drives which will be attached to a SATA controller card which I will also be installing. I'm wondering which of these things will break my authorization, causing me to have to get yet another ILM key, which I don't want to do if I can avoid that hassle. So, should I just put everything into the machine that's going to be put into it, then authorize, or should I authorize first, then install the hardware if doing that won't change the machine's ID?

Play it safe. Put everything into the machine, install any required software

and/or updates, then authorize. Nothing you're doing *should* impact your machine's lock code, but as you say FS's licensing system's been known to be somewhat confusing. So, just so you're not repeating yourself later, install everything you need first, then authorize. James, List Admin

I wish they would change this activation system. It really sucks.

If you still have the dongle, you should use it for the time-being, until you have added the additional hardware, then authorize the on-board ILM authorization license. Sincerely: Dave durber
