Updating SMART software
To update the SMART software on a Windows or Mac computer, go to the SMART software download page
or use SMART Product Update.
NOTE
Although SMART Product Update is not available for Linux computers, the computer’s package
management system can find and apply updates automatically if SMART software was installed from
SMART’s package repository directly (provided the package management system is configured correctly).
If the software wasn’t installed from SMART’s package repository, you can check the SMART website for
software updates and install them manually.

1.
Tap the SMART Board icon in the notification area (Windows) or menu bar (Mac) and select Check
for Updates and Activation.
The SMART Product Update dialog box appears listing the SMART software products installed on your
computer.
