SMART Notebook software uses a technology called TLS 1.0 and 1.1 to protect your data when it's sent over the internet. However, these older technologies now have some weaknesses that make it susceptible to attacks by malicious agents. To ensure your data continues to be safe while using SMART software, SMART Notebook is phasing out the use of TLS 1.0 and 1.1 and implementing new protections.
To avoid potential disruptions and stay aligned with best security practices, SMART recommends updating to SMART Notebook 23 by December 31, 2023. If you don't update by this date, you will see an error message saying, "Trial period has expired" even if you have an active SMART Notebook Plus (SMART Learning Suite) subscription.
