Actually, there are some differences between JAWS Home and JAWS Pro....
mostly in what O/S flavors they will run on and what other non-standard
features you want enabled.

Here are cases where I know you need a Pro license:

- If you are using an Enterprise version of Windows (or any machine
hooked up to an active directory domain),
- if you want to enable the "Remote Access" features (enabling it to
work with Cisco VMs),
- if you want to use the JAWS Network license server to serve licenses
as needed over a network (say to deploy JAWS on 1000s of student
workstations across an entire university).


If none of those are your case, then the Home should work, but you'd want
to ask your JAWS reseller or the Freedom Scientific sales staff to be sure.
