jaws license and sma

Amy Gordon
Hi, was wondering what the differance is between the yearly license
and the s.m.a. for Jaws for windows? I currently have the 2021 version of jaws. Trying to decide which would be better for upgrading yearly or s.m.. Thanks for any help. Amy

You can get a SMA until July 31 that cover the next two years for $120,

regularly $150. That is if in US. These licenses you can use as long as you wish. If you are not current then the annual license might be the least expensive. But at the end of the year you have to renew or your license reverts to 40 minute mode.

Hi Amy,
In a nutshell, if you have the annual license
version you pay $95 a year to have it, but I don't know if this is a fixed price
or if this price will go up.
On the other hand, if you have an SMA, when
you buy the SMA this is good for 2 years / 2 versions of Jaws and when purchased
in advance you get 2 versions of Jaws for $150. Right now FS / Vispero has
a sale going on until the end of the month and the SMA is $120.
It's hard to explain the purchase in advance I
mentioned, as an example I always buy my SMA's almost 1 year in advance.
So, my current SMA covered J2022, but because of this sale I purchased my
J2023 & J2024 SMA to take advantage of the sale price.
For any further explanation you might want to
give FS / Vispero sales a call and make sure they give you the sale price if you
do buy an SMA. Their Phone# Is below.
Sales: 1-8800-444-4443
Stay safe & take care. Mike. Just once, I want a username and password prompt to say: "Close Enough!"

Where or how can I get this. When I run my serial number it says it will cost me 380 dollars. I know they have a discount with ACB Convention going. I would not get that to work. Maybe I entered the code wrong. I would like to get this.

Hi Allen,
In your case I would call FS / Vispero and
talk to them directly. You will still get the sale price, it doesn't have
to be done on line to get the SMA $120 discount. Just make sure you get an
agent that knows about the sale until the end of the month.
Phone#: 1-800-444-4443.

Wow, you must be rotten rich or else love Vispero so much that you would want to fork over hundreds and hundreds of dollars in advance for ten years' worth of SMA's. This makes absolutely no sense because who knows what the future will hold. FS could go belly up within the next ten years and then you would be out all that money. Since you are apparently very comfortable financially, , it would make no sense to extend your SMA more than two years at a time. If the price goes up after two years, you would obviously be able to afford the nominal price increase.

Holly, So let me tell you my story. I had an SMA thru 2023 already. So if you went to FSActivate.com and put in my serial number, it said I had an SMA thru 2023 and wouldn’t let me buy. However, when I called them they gave me the $120 price. This only works for one SMA, I asked if I could buy 2 at that discount and the answer is a nope. I was told that FS does offer these prices n every year around this time, but was also told do not quote her on that. TO me this m means for as long as she’s been working there, around the m full month of July, you can get that discounted SMA rate. But this, like anything could change. I also asked if there was a clause as to what would happen if FS went out of business, would a user get their money back? To which sails responded most likely that won’t happen (I don’t think it’d happen either), but in affect she had no idea what would happen in that situation. SO now I’m upgraded to 2025. The reason why I did it, is that I I’ve heard rumblings of SMA’s going up in price, and I want to get my money’s worth from this product since I use it every day for my primary. John

Good for you! Ya, figured that you couldn’t buy more

awhile. Worth a phone call.

reader.

Yeah I use it as my Only for the most part, too. I say for the most part as I need to upgrade to Windows 10 soon. I’d like to see what narrator offers, but I’ll probably wind up going back to JAWS honestly. And I really really want that SSD too.
Yeah worth a phone call every year! I half expect that $120 to be higher next year, which is why I did it to begin with. If it is higher in price next year or even two years from now, then I won’t have to buy that year. John

If you want to see about Narrator, why not try NVDA. I don’t know how
you use your computer and I don’t know how well NVDA would meet your needs but
it meets a lot of users’ needs well.

Narrator in Windows 10 has much improved, but never come close
to JAWS. Some say NVDA is very good, but I have never tried it. It
is a free program though, although, they do accept
donations.

Are you talking about scripts or user customization such as using
frames? JAWS is more user definable for those without knowledge of
programming because of the ability to create frames. Frames can be very
important for making programs usable without having to have the delay and
possible expense of having someone script for that program.
NVDA uses scripts but the general user, as in JAWS, doesn’t directly work
with, change or develop them.
Each screen-reader has its advantages and does certain things better.NVDA
will meet a lot of users’ needs but there are times when it is faster and more
efficient to customize JAWS.
