Updating SMART Notebook

SMART periodically releases updates to its software products. The SMART Product Update (SPU) tool regularly checks for and installs these updates.

If SPU is not set to check for automatic updates, you can check for and install updates manually. Additionally, you can enable automatic update checks for future updates. SMART Product Update (SPU) enables you to activate and update installed SMART software, including SMART Notebook and supporting software such as SMART Ink and SMART Product Drivers.

Important 

SPU requires an Internet connection.
