Steve, if this is the Jaws screen reader you are talking about, then
as I understood it the system can be installed on up to five machines,
baring in mind that when you install on a machine a key must be
removed from a key disk.
This is different, however, if you have a network license, where the
key and related software is installed onto a file server and then the
screen reader can be accessed by specific student profiles.
