Who is your supplier as we have been told that this is not possible and you can no longer buy for non Smart hardware

 

You need a Smart hardware serial number to buy the software

 

Our supplier is SoftCat. I'll check with another.

Hi all,

 

From our conversations with SMART and their distributors we have been told the following

 

- SMART Learning Suite is currently only available for SMART Products.

- If you are running SMART 11.4 and wish to upgrade you need to supply the serials of your SMARTboards.

- If you are running software newer than 11.4 you need to supply your current license key to upgrade.

 

There is talk about having a software price for those who wish to use SLS with a new 3rd party device but this has currently not been released.

From what I can tell and understand if you already have a 3rd party device and a software licence you will be able to upgrade your software under the extended scheme. The main issue if for 'new' licences rather than upgrades.

 

 

As many of you are aware there have been a lot of changes with the SMART software and the licensing model as well as changes to the distribution set up.

As things start to settle down things will become much easier to understand.

 

If anyone has an questions do feel free to get in touch and I will be more than happy to help.

 

 

Anthony

So if buying a new third party device to replace a smartboard, but the license for the device you are getting rid of!

Our school is still deciding on a Geene or a C-Touch, the Geene is a much better price , the difference didn't seem to be that big between the two demo's. In the long run it's going to come down to the software as I think the school will switch from Smart, both open Notebook files so be interesting to hear how people get on with a move to Spark (Geene) or Oktopus (C-Touch).
