Setting up teacher access
Applicable to SMART Notebook Plus only.
Single plan subscriptionsWhen you purchase a single plan subscription, you’re asked to sign in to your Microsoft or Google account. This is the account you use to sign in to access SMART Notebook Plus.
Group subscriptionsIf you have an active subscription to SMART Learning Suite, you must determine how you want to set up teachers’ access to the SMART Notebook Plus features that come with a subscription.
There are two ways to activate a teacher’s access to SMART Notebook:
Email provisioning: provision the teacher’s email address for their SMART Account
Product key: use a product key
SMART recommends that you provision a teacher’s access using their SMART Account email rather than a product key.
Note
Setting up access doesn’t apply if you are using SMART Notebook Plus in trial mode or if you’re using SMART Notebook without a subscription.
After you’ve determined which activation method is best for your school, sign in to the SMART Admin Portal to provision teachers or locate the product key.
The SMART Admin Portal is an online tool that allows schools or districts to manage their SMART software subscriptions easily. After signing in, the SMART Admin Portal shows you a variety of details, including:
all the subscriptions purchased by you or your school
the product key(s) attached to each subscription
renewal dates
number of seats attached to each product key and how many of those seats have been assigned

Create a list of teacher emailsGather a list of emails addresses for teachers for whom you’re installing SMART Notebook. Teachers will use these addresses to create their SMART Account, which they will need for signing in to SMART Notebook and accessing all its premium features. A SMART Account is required for teachers regardless of which activation method (product key or email provisioning) is used.
Ideally these email addresses are provided to teachers by their school or institution for Google Suite or Microsoft Office 365. If a teacher already has an address they use for a SMART Account, be sure to obtain and provision that email address.
Adding teachers to a subscriptionIf you chose to provision a teacher’s email address to set up access, you need to provision the teacher to the subscription in the SMART Admin Portal. You can:
Add one teacher at a time by entering their email address
Import a CSV file to add multiple teachers
Auto-provision teachers with ClassLink, Google, or Microsoft
For complete instructions about provisioning teachers using the above methods, see support.smarttech.com/docs/redirect/?product=adminportal&context=AddUsers.
Locating the product key for activationIf you chose the product key method to set up access, sign in to the SMART Admin Portal to locate the key.
To locate the product key for your subscription
Go to subscriptions.smarttech.com and enter your user name and password for the SMART Admin Portal to sign in.
Locate your subscription to SMART Learning Suite and expand it to view the product key.
See the SMART Admin Portal support page for complete details about using the portal (support.smarttech.com/docs/redirect/?product=softwareportal).
Copy the product key and email it to the teacher or save it in a convenient location for later. You or the teacher will enter this key in SMART Notebook after it’s installed.
