OK, I had to go to the customer premises and found a solution. I:

• Exported the keystore that holds the signing keys in PKCS #12 format
• Opened control panel Java -> Security tab
• Clicked Manage certificates
• Imported this new keystore as a secure site CA

Then I opened the JAWS application without any warning. This is a little bit cumbersome, but much cheaper than buying a signed certificate!
