Hi, it's Annabelle.
I have an Annual license for JAWS 2021, and I'd like to change it to a perpetual license. Those are the ones that don't expire, right? Will it cost me anything? If so, how much. Specifically, I have a home license for JAWS 2021.

Sorry, no can do. Once
you have selected the annual license option, you cannot switch
to the SMA option without purchasing JAWS outright for $950, if
you have not previously done so.

I originally purchased an SMA when I originally purchased JAWS, starting with version 3.7.

Depending on your last SMA version, you could
upgrade to a current SMA by paying the upgrade cost from that previous version.
But if it is not a recent version the price may be more than you want to pay.

The most recent version my SMA currently supports is JAWS version 15.

Thank you,
bharat.In that case, you would be better served by going with the
$95 JAWS home annual licence from FS's E-Store. While out there, if
you opt for a 2 or 5 year licence, it would come in even cheaper from
a overall pricing standpoint. That's my understanding of it all.

Oh my goodness,you are
so far behind with JAWS that FS would probably charge you at
least $500 to bring your SMA up to date. I presume you are
using JAWS 15 with Windows 7 because such an old version of JAWS
is not compatible with Windows 10 or 11. Therefore, if you are
planning to buy a new computer with Windows 10 or 11 and update
toJAWS 2022, your best bet by far is to stick with the annual
license option. It will only cost you $95 for a one year
license, which is only $20 more than the one year cost of a two
year SMA whose regular price is$150.

I have a Home Annual license with JAWS 2021, as I have it on a Windows 10 machine which I got in May of 2021. What do I do when the license expires? Would I have to pay extra to get it renewed? If so, how much?

You will have to pay
$95 to renew your annual home license for another year. If you
purchased your license inMay of 2021, it may have already
expired if it was only a one-year license, and JAWS may only
work in 40 minute demo mode. FS also offers 3 year and 5 year
licenses which are currently avaiable at 20% discounts, as
announced yesterday at the ACB convention. I suggest you call
FS on Tuesday at 800-444-4443 for more infornation.

There is so much
confusion about this issue that I will try to explain the
differences between a perpetual license and an annual renewable
home license. When you purchase a copy of JAWS for the regular
price of $950, you can use it indefinitely without restriction
as long as it is still compatible with your version of Windows
because you own it outright. It is yours to keep, and you can
authorize it to use on up to three computers. Many JAWS home
users have JAWS purchased for them by a blindness rehab agency
and never bother to upgrade their SMA's at their own cost
because JAWS works satisfactorally with the version of Windows
they are using. Other JAWS users who own it outright because
they either purchased it themselves or had it purchased for them
by a rehab agency prefer to pay $150 every two years to upgrade
their SMA's so that they can enjoy the latest version of JAWS
and ensure ongoing compatibility with Windows. With an annual
home license,on the other hand, you are only purchasing the
right to use JAWS without restriction for a specific period of
time, usually one, three or five years. Unlike an SMA, you do
not own JAWS outright, and if you fail to renew your license
before it is due to expire, JAWS will revert to 40 minute demo
mode. HTH.

Yes, when you purchased
JAWS in 2002, you essentially purchased a perpetual license
because you own it outright and can use it indefinitely without
restriction as long as it is still compatible with the version
of Windows on your computer. But in order to keep JAWS up to
date, you would have had to purchase an SMA every two years
until the present time. If you let your SMA lapse at some point
in the past, FS will charge you a hefty penalty to bring it up
to date.

When you purchase a copy of JAWS for the regular price of $950, you can use it indefinitely without restriction as long as it is still compatible with your version of Windows because you own it outright. It is yours to keep, and you can authorize it to use on up to three computers. Many JAWS home users have JAWS purchased for them by a blindness rehab agency and never bother to upgrade their SMA's at their own cost because JAWS works satisfactorally with the version of Windows they are using. Other JAWS users who own it outright because they either purchased it themselves or had it purchased for them by a rehab agency prefer to pay $150 every two years to upgrade their SMA's so that they can enjoy the latest version of JAWS and ensure ongoing compatibility with Windows. With an annual home license,on the other hand, you are only purchasing the right to use JAWS without restriction for a specific period of time, usually one, three or five years. Unlike an SMA, you do not own JAWS outright, and if you fail to renew your license before it is due to expire, JAWS will revert to 40 minute demo mode. HTH.

That would be a very old version and you do own the
license, but that version would not work with Windows 10 or 11. OAS's keep
changing so you need to upgrade your screen reader.

I
originally purchased JAWS with my college trust fund in 2002. Does this mean I
own it if I purchased a perpetual license back then?
There is so much
confusion about this issue that I will try to explain the differences
between a perpetual license and an annual renewable home license. When
you purchase a copy of JAWS for the regular price of $950, you can use it
indefinitely without restriction as long as it is still compatible with your
version of Windows because you own it outright. It is yours to keep,
and you can authorize it to use on up to three computers. Many JAWS
home users have JAWS purchased for them by a blindness rehab agency and
never bother to upgrade their SMA's at their own cost because JAWS works
satisfactorally with the version of Windows they are using. Other JAWS
users who own it outright because they either purchased it themselves or had
it purchased for them by a rehab agency prefer to pay $150 every two years
to upgrade their SMA's so that they can enjoy the latest version of JAWS and
ensure ongoing compatibility with Windows. With an annual home
license,on the other hand, you are only purchasing the right to use JAWS
without restriction for a specific period of time, usually one, three or
five years. Unlike an SMA, you do not own JAWS outright, and if you
fail to renew your license before it is due to expire, JAWS will revert to
40 minute demo mode. HTH.

I used to have an SMA for Jaws, not sure which version of Jaws it was.
My SMA had expired, and rather than renewing the SMA I purchased the
home annual yearly subscription for around $95. In my opinion it's
easier than trying to renew an expired SMA.

I purchased my SMA with a college trust fund back in 2002, as I was going to school back then. The SMA was a "Professional" license. I want to try to change my recent home annual license to a perpetual license, but I'm not sure how much it would cost to upgrade from one license to another. Am I right when I hear that a perpetual license never expires?

Yes it is easy, however if you didn't renew it come the expiry date, your JAWS will be back to 40 minute demo mode.

I have a SMA for a professional license, since I use it for work and home. I'm not sure FS even offers a SMA for home licenses anymore, but don't hold me to that.
As I understand it, JAWS is mine to keep, even if I don't renew the SMA, but eventually the software won't work as Windows and applications keep progressing. Like you, I like the idea of owning my copy, even if it becomes outdated if I don't renew the SMA. The annual license is great for removing the barrier of entry for new JAWS users, but feels like a fleeting thing that you lose if you cannot afford the annual license one year.
If your last SMA was 2002, you may not be able to switch base to even a professional SMA at this point. You are probably best to call FS Sales and ask about your situation.
