Is SMART Learning Suite Free?
The SMART Learning Suite subscription is approximately £30 to £45 per SMART Board, depending on the number of licences you require and the subscription length. There are price breaks for the number of licences ordered, and the longer the subscription term, the cheaper the annual cost. A 5-year subscription is more affordable per year than a 1-year subscription. With a subscription, the software will work on any interactive display screen.
There is much misleading information online about what is included with the different models of SMART Board. To confirm, the SMART GX range and the MX Series price include the SMART Notebook software. The SMART Learning Suite is an extra subscription cost.
