The Window-Eyes Lease to Own program has been updated, and is now called the Payment Plan program. You have the option of paying either $100 per month, or $39 per month, which should provide some flexibility regarding con #1 and #2. Regarding con #3, of course there's a bit of a hassle. It's an exchange for being able to pay a small amount over a long period of time. As for con #4, starting with Window-Eyes 6.1, you are no longer limited to just one machine.

I think it is just another option for some consumers. Most people taking advantage of this program probably won't have multiple computers on which they need to install Window-Eyes, so I'm not overly concerned about the inability to activate multiple licenses at the same time through the LTO program. LTO provides one more option not available with other screen readers like JAWS, so this is, overall, a good thing. GW Micro needs to make all its policies crystal clear to the person who takes out one of these leases, including making all such information available in accessible alternative formats!
