Installing and activating

Start the installation by downloading the software from the SMART website. After you’ve downloaded and run the installer, you or the teacher need to activate the software.

Tips 

  • If you are deploying SMART Notebook on multiple computers, refer to the SMART Notebook deployment guides.

  • For Windows operating systems, you can install SMART Notebook using the USB installer or the web-based installer. If you’re installing SMART Notebook on multiple computers, use the USB installer so you only have to download the installer once, saving you time. The USB installer is also for use if you’re installing SMART Notebook on a computer that doesn’t have internet. However, an internet connection is required for activating the software. To find the USB installer, go to smarttech.com/products/education-software/smart-learning-suite/admin-download

  1. Go to smarttech.com/products/education-software/smart-learning-suite/download/purchased.

  2. Select the operating system.

  3. Click download and save the file to a temporary location

  4. Double-click the downloaded installer file to start the installation wizard.

  5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

    Tip

    Windows operating systems only

    To have SMART Notebook basic version run as the default program, on the final installation screen select the Use Notebook basic version by default check box. This will prevent SMART Notebook from asking for activation when the program is opened and will prevent notifications asking users to upgrade.
