[Athen] Transition to Fusion

[Puzzuoli, Al]

Peter,
That's interesting, and should not have been the case.  Not sure why that occurred, but the licenses should authorize all of them. If you are still seeing that behavior with 2019, please let me know; though I can't fathom why it would have occurred with 2018 in the first place.

Hi Al,

This may have changed, but with 2018 we didn't find this to be true; an authorization number for Fusion would not authorize JAWS standalone or Zoom Text. The network license would activate JAWS standalone but not Zoom Text.

I haven't tried that with 2019 versions, though.

I  work for Vispero on the technical side of things, so can't speak much to pricing or upgrade paths, but from a technical perspective, there is no downside. Fusion licenses will authorize standalone JAWS, standalone ZoomText, or both products installed as a bundle. There is no need to re-image, or install Fusion on all machines, etc. If you have a JAWS user who will only ever need JAWS, just use the JAWS installer, it will authorize with a Fusion license. Same goes for ZT.
Hope this helps,
--Al

I wrok for a state agency for the blind. We had a 50 seat JAWS license, and a 20 seat ZoomText license. We combined everything into a 60-seat Fusion license -- and it has worked out fine.  Ultimately it should save us some money.

Hi all,

I am considering transitioning to Fusion. My campus has had a 5 user license for Zoom Text and a 10 user license for JAWS for the past 12+ years. If you have transitioned to Fusion, please share the positives and negatives.  Is it recommended or should I keep my individual licenses?

Thanks for any input.
