Hello everyone, I'm Giselle Goncalves, the product line manager for Notebook software. I just wanted to let this group know that Notebook software v.10 is now available for SMART customers to upgrade to. I invite you to review the revised product section with a full list of features and let us know what you think. SMART - SMART Notebook software Giselle

For a comprehensive list of what is included in the SMART Board software 9.7 release you can download the following knowledge base article http://www2.smarttech.com/kbdoc/97061. You can still open files made in 9.5 in 9.7. We didn't change the .notebook file format. The sysem administrator version is now available. As for being notified when new versions are available, you can set your software to check for updates at whatever frequency you prefer. If you don't have the option selected to check for updates then the software won't notify you. You can check that option from the SMART Board system tray icon and selecting check for updates.

The best thing to do to get information in North America is to contact the SMART software sales group. Phone 1.866.284.2769 or +1.403.245.0333 E-mail [email protected] Or contact your authorized SMART reseller.

Ok.

In order for you to use SMART Board software on a competitive product you require a SMART Board software stand-alone license (aka competitive upgrade license). This is available from Steljes in the UK. It will allow you to use SMART Board software with all it's features and functionality on a competitive product. If you are looking for something more cost effective way to use Notebook files try Notebook interactive viewer. It is a free download (http://www2.smarttech.com/st/en-US/Support/Downloads/default.htm) and anyone with any hardware can use it. It will allow you to open pre-created Notebook files and view and interact with them. However, you can not save your changes in this application, it is only an interactive viewer, not a full version of the software.

SMART Board software 9.5 can convert ActivStudio 2.5 files into the Notebook file format. 1. From Program Files\SMART Board software launch the PrometheanFileConverter.exe. 2. Select File -> Import 3. Change ‘Files of Type:’ to ‘All Promethean Files’ on the Open dialog 4. Browse to an appropriate file, and Click 5. The file will open in a new NB file (i.e. – it will not append to existing pages, if you have data in NB, it will prompt you to save) This is for Windows only. Please contact SMART technical support if you require more information. They will be happy to help.
