User's Manual

Is a product key licensed to a computer or a
user?
SMARTsoftware product keys are licensed to a computer. When you enter a SMART software
product key and activate the software, you node-lock the license to the computer that you installed
the software on and anyone can use it. If you want to activate the software on a second computer,
you need a second license.
N  N O T E
Product keys typically support multiple licenses.
How many times can I activate my
SMARTsoftware?
Every SMART software product key comes with a set quantity of licenses. Each time you activate a
product key on a different computer, you consume a license. If you re-activate a product key on the
same computer, you don’t consume an additional license. When you consume every license, you
receive a message saying that you’ve exceeded the maximum activation limit for your product key.
There isn’t a way to determine how many unconsumed licenses remain. SMART encourages system
administrators to track licenses and the computers that use them. You can purchase additional
licenses through your authorized SMART reseller (smarttech.com/where).
Why doesn’t SMARTNotebook MathTools
software work when I enter my SMARTNotebook
MathTools software product key?

SMARTNotebook software requires its own product key (prefix NB-) for activation. To activate both
SMARTNotebook software and SMARTNotebook MathTools software, you need to enter and
activate both product keys. To activate only SMARTNotebook software, you need to activate only
