Activate JAWS

This section applies to perpetual licenses (Professional and Home). If you have an annual license, you can skip to the next section.

Internet License Manager lets you activate JAWS using an Internet connection. The activation process begins automatically when you start JAWS. For information on other ways to activate, choose Activation Help when the activation process begins.

To activate JAWS using the internet:

  1. In the 'Activation' dialog box, choose Start Activation.

  5. If you have not registered JAWS, you are asked to do so now. Registering JAWS lets you receive technical support. Choose Register Now and complete the online registration form by following the instructions provided. You can choose to register later, but you will need to register the next time you activate JAWS.
  6. After you submit your registration, Internet License Manager attempts to activate JAWS. This may take several minutes. When the activation is successful, choose Finish.
If Internet License Manager cannot activate JAWS, you may need to reconfigure your firewall. Refer to the Activation Help within the JAWS software for more information.

I hope that someone familiar with Jaws 14 can help (this is a speech system for the blind.) We upgraded to Windows 8 from Windows XP. We also upgraded to Jaws 14 because we were told that it was compatible. Now someone at Microsoft tells us that the ONLY Windows 8 that is out is Windows 8 Professional and that this is not compatible with Jaws 14. The computer is working but not well and I am stuck. Can anyone tell me

1) is it true that the only windows 8 that is out is a professional. (I bought it online and it I don't remember it being prof. /how-to-turn-on-bitlocker-windows-10.html.
