Hi Weston,

Freedom Scientific provides network licences. If you are performing a virtual environment which it sounds like you are doing. This could be an option. How are you going to handle Mac? If you are not using Apple hardware, I believe there is possible licencing issues here? Also how are you going to handle VoiceOver via remote desktop? As you will require an audio channel and I don't know if VoiceOver will work correctly in this type of environment. As NVDA requires a remote server and Jaws require the software to be installed on the remote machine. To get full functionality out of Jaws you require a Remote Desktop licence. It is possible to run Jaws via the audio channel. But the audio is very substandard plus the performance is very laggy. I have used Jaws in both approaches.

I will have to read your accessibility statement.
