SMART Software download		The 9.5 version of SMARTboard software is the version which is currently installed in most SBC schools. It is free and can be downloaded for home use from here. (Note - This is not the latest version of the software, but would be the same as that installed in schools at present.) Select SMART Board software 9.5 service pack 5 - full installation. The latest version of the software just released is version 10. This will be rolled out to SBC schools during Session 2008-2009. It can be downloaded from here. (Note:- Do not attempt this on a school network !! The previous version needs to be de-installed. Follow the instructions on the site.

You receive an activation 'key' to allow the software to work
