Welcome back! This year we have a new version of SMART Notebook on everybody's machine. There's better compatibility with Office, better tools, and some new features that you'll be hearing about throughout the year.

2. Launch SMART Notebook using either the desktop shortcut, or by right clicking the system tray icon in the bottom right corner of the screen (light blue square with a white circle inside), then selecting "Check for Updates and Activation" from the menu that pops up. There will be a message telling you it has expired.

3. Click on "Activate". (Or "Manage" if "Activate" is not available)

4. Click on the existing key if prompted (starts with "NC-2ADAY-...").

5. Click on "Manage the Selected Product Key..." ONLY if prompted.

7. "Submit request automatically (recommended)" should be selected. Click on "Next".
