moderated Jaws annual subscription

OK I have a full licensed copy of Jaws home edition and have been keeping it up to date with a SMA. Lets say I don't purchase another SMA but go for the annual $90 subscription. What happens at the end of that subscription if I don't purchase another subscription? Do I lose the use of what was a full license copy?

I guess you will be able to activate your old licensed copy assuming
that you have got an SMA to the latest version of JAWS. If not, it qwill revert to 40 min mode.

The same is true if your SMA runs out, according to a rep at Vispero. I had the 20 version, if I did not renew my SMA because it had run out, I could still use JAWS 20. The kicker is though, from what I can remember, if in a few years 20 was out of date as in not working properly because of the upgrades in technology, I'd have to pay for each succeeding upgrade. Others can refute that if they want. I don't know everything and don't mind being corrected. Providing of course the person has factual info, not their own idea. "You should ... it could ..." Yes, I did renew my SMA at $165 and do have the 21.

I would suggest calling FS or Vispero, seem to go by both names. Lots of variables so I don't want to give out incorrect information.

If you switch to the subscription license of JAWS, that is a non-perpetual license that must be purchased and renewed every year. You can still purchase a full license with an SMA and get a perpetual license for that version of JAWS and use it for as long as you like. It won't expire whether you choose to keep purchasing an SMA or not. As Windows continues to be updated and your various programs such as Office 365 continue to be updated, how effective the older version of JAWS will remain might be an issue.

If memory serves, and that could be a big if, let's say you have a SMA through 2023.

You decide to skip 2024 and want to get a full license for 2025 and 26, you have to still pay for 2024. I still like the SMA approach, but at some point, I may decide to switch if the annual purchase stays at $90 per year because by 2024, that will be more cost effective.

If you have an SM a, the best thing to do is keep it up-to-date. If you ever let it lapse, or go to the home annual license, you will end up spending more money. $90 times two is 180. Where as the SMA for two years is currently $150.

If you switch to the home annual license and decide not to renew it, you will then be downgraded to the demo 40 minute version.

That's now. But starting in January, an SMA will jump from $150 to $210, so a two-year license at $180 would be cheaper.

The only reason that it is jumping to $210 is because you did not pay the $150 before the end of the year.

So what about those who have the JAWS 19 and want to upgrade to 21? They have to pay for who knows how many upgrades to be current.

All info good, just doesn't apply to Canadian users of JAWS. We do not have the ability to get a annual subscription like U S citizens do. There is no idea if we ever will, either according to a rep from Vispero. Thus we have to pay the $165 for a home edition SMA or over $300 for the professional edition. Since I just use JAWS on 3 computers, it was suggested I just get the home version.

If you have Jaws 2019, you would have to pay for 2020 and 2021.

You could call Vispero and ask to get an actual price. Or, plan to commit to the annual license at the rate of at least $90 per year to avoid falling back to the 40 minute demo.

If you ever let it lapse, or go to the home annual license, you will end up spending more money. $90 times two is 180. Where as the SMA for two years is currently $150. If you switch to the home annual license and decide not to renew it, you will then be downgraded to the demo 40 minute version. > On Nov 18, 2020, at 2:22 PM, Richard Turner <richardturner42@outlook.com> wrote: > > If memory serves, and that could be a big if, let's say you have a SMA through 2023. > You decide to skip 2024 and want to get a full license for 2025 and 26, you have to still pay for 2024. > I still like the SMA approach, but at some point, I may decide to switch if the annual purchase stays at $90 per year because by 2024, that will be more cost effective. > But, not even the Shadow knows if that price will stay the same .... > > > > Richard > "The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say on the subject of flying. > There is an art, it says, or rather, a knack to flying.

Very unfortunate. User error on my part has me paying $165 for the upgrade from 20 to 21. From there, I can purchase an SMA that will bring me to 2023, so long as I do it before 2022 is released.

For any Canadian users, I can handily recommend Ryan from Canasstech. Friendly, professional, and very efficient. I emailed him at 7 PM central and got an email 15 minutes later letting me know he'd be in touch the next day. I'd really be interested to know why we're not able to get the annual license here in Canada. Surely there is nothing stopping Vispero from enabling it here. I've put so much money into Jaws I can't afford to start falling behind at this point.

Is the price going up in Canada on January 1, 2021 also?

If so, you may want to buy it before the end of December to avoid the price hike. Richard "The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say on the subject of flying.

Gerald:
Regardless as to whether an SMA is $150 or $210, if
you do not renew an SMA, you can go on using the last version of JAWS for that
SMA, without any restrictions where as, the way I understand it, if you do not
renew the home annual license, JAWS, will switch to running in 40
minute mode.

The upgrade price, is to move a user of JAWS, for example, from version 2019 to version 2021. The upgrade, would allow a user to then use JAWS 2020, if they so wish.
