Moderated complete list of differences between owning jfw pro vs home
|
Kimsan
Hi, I just got off the phone with fs to purchase an SMA. Good grief, upgrade price now is 300? I’ve had pro since the day before forever, so I said forget it and purchase home for 150. Besides the work settings, any other differences between owning home or pro?
Thank you, Sincerely, Kimsan Song kimsansong@...

I am not sure if Jaws Home supports Remote Desktop.

You don't need JAWS Pro unless you use it in a
business environment.

I’m pretty sure JAWS Home does not support remote desktop, but for most of us, Home is a much better deal.

I am accessing remote desktop from my JAWS home computer; but the destination computer is JAWS professional.

As I understand it, the home version is for a computer that you personally own. The pro version is for computers that you do not own. Such as business or state agencies. Otherwise, they both work the same.

From FS some years ago: the code is exactly the same for home and pro. the only difference is where the product is being used.

I don’t think this is true. I have been using the home version for several years and it has never stopped working if I didn’t update. It cost me more when I did upgrade.

The other difference between the home annual license and the pro that I don't believe has been mentioned is the home annual license is not perpetual. In other words, if you choose not to upgrade it when the year lapses, the software stops working. If you choose not to upgrade a pro license, it will continue to work because it is perpetual.

The home annual license that was created a little over a year ago is most certainly not a perpetual license as was explained in the JAWS meeting at this year's ACB convention. This is the home annual license that you purchase online using the JAWS portal. Maybe we're talking about two different things but that is how the home annual license works.

You are confusing Home Edition of JAWS with The
Home annual license edition. The Home annual license edition is a subscription
version where you pay for it by the year. The Home edition is where you purchase
JAWS and upgrade it with a SMA.

But they did not stop selling the Home edition and
upgrading it with SMA. If you are current with your JAWS Home edition, it is
still cheaper to buy a SMA than paying for the subscription
annually.

Thanks for the explanation. I was definitely confusing the home annual license with the home edition. Personally, since they seem to be discussing the home annual license quite a bit, I think they should rename the home edition something else to avoid confusion.

That is the subscription version/model, just as with other subscriptions the product only works as long as the subscription is active. That is, however, not the difference between Jaws Home and Professional, many people own Jaws Home and they bought it long before there was a subscription. Somebody, who bought Jaws 18 certainly could be using Jaws 18 still even though since Jaws 18 was released, Jaws 2018 was released, then Jaws 2019 and in a week or two Jaws 2020.

The home edition is much affordable. I have been using the home edition since 2017. |
