Important changes to expired software behavior - for Notebook 17 and beyond
 
With the introduction of Notebook 17, expired software will experience a change in behavior. Upon expiry of a Notebook trial or SMART Learning Suite subscription, customers will continue to have access to Notebook in a feature-limited mode. However, these customers will need to login with their SMART account (Microsoft 365 or Google) to continue using the software in limited mode. For more information on this change please refer to the SMART Learning Suite sales brief and FAQs.
