If you have already purchased a subscription but Smart Music keeps prompting you to purchase another,  call Smart Music tech support (866-240-4041) and ask to have your account re-set.

You will need:

• Smart Music 10.2 Installation Files (this is a new version as of Spring 2008)

• The email address you used to open your SmartMusic account

• The password you created for your SmartMusic account

• Your superuser name to install software on your tablet (for administrative privileges on your tablet)

• Your superuser password (contact the IS helpdesk if you need this)

Downloading Smart Music 10.2 Installation Files

You may choose to download the installation files from Smart Music directly to your tablet, which takes a few hours. Or, when you are at school, you can copy the the small install files for PC from a folder Mr. Grush has set up on the P drive, which takes a few minutes but keeps your computer from doing anything else while you are copying.  If you want the large install files, you will have to download them.

Installing Smart Music 10.2

Right click on the the "Install Smart Music" file and select "Run As"

Select your superuser name and then type your superuser password.

Follow the directions of the Set-up Wizard.  Do the Easy Install.

* Open SmartMusic and activate your subscription by following the on-screen instructions. You will need to enter your email address and password that you created when you ordered your subscription. Activation takes a few minutes and does require an Internet connection. (Students who have already done this tell me that you must log on as SUPERUSER to do this.)

If you are not sure if your subscription from 07-08 has expired, open Smart Music, click on the Subscription menu, and select "Check Status"

If you have already purchased a subscription but Smart Music keeps prompting you to purchase another,  call Smart Music tech support (866-240-4041) and ask to have your account re-set.

* You can learn how to set-up and use SmartMusic by watching the SmartMusic QuickStart Videos. These videos can be accessed from the Help menu, the last screen of the Setup Wizard or the Welcome screen before you activate your subscription.
