This version has been discontinued, but a newer version is available. You can download the newer version by visiting the downloads page. Some software requires a subscription.

SMART Notebook software uses a technology called TLS 1.0 and 1.1 to protect your data when it's sent over the internet. However, these older technologies now have some weaknesses that make it susceptible to attacks by malicious agents. To ensure your data continues to be safe while using SMART software, SMART Notebook is phasing out the use of TLS 1.0 and 1.1 and implementing new protections.

To avoid potential disruptions and stay aligned with best security practices, SMART recommends updating to SMART Notebook 23 by December 31, 2023. If you don't update by this date, you will see an error message saying, "Trial period has expired" even if you have an active SMART Notebook Plus (SMART Learning Suite) subscription.

Benefits of upgrading

Setting up a SMART account

Creating a SMART Account enables you to sign in and use SMART software, such as SLS Online. Setting up a SMART Account also connects your files across SMART platforms. If you’re using a SMART display with iQ while signed in to your SMART account, the display syncs its File Library with your SMART account. This means that files you’ve shared from SMART Notebook or saved to SLS Online are available directly from the display. Learn how to create a SMART Account.

Note

To access SLS Online (unless you are currently in the 45-day trial period) with your SMART Account, you or your school must have an active subscription to SMART Learning Suite and ensure your email is provisioned in the SMART Admin Portal.

After you’ve set up a SMART Account, you can visit your SMART Account settings page at myaccount.smarttech.com to manage your profile. Learn more about how you can manage your SMART Account.
