They were using apparently Smart Notebook 16 or 2016 I believe but the license has ran out and the watermark logo now reappears. This version will interact ok having it installed on a laptop connected to a touchscreen. I know the free version of 11.4 works fine without the need to have an interactive smartboard.
SMART NOTEBOOK 11 FREE TRIAL INSTALL
They were going to just remove this version and install the free 11.4, but it is a time consuming job removing eveything and reinstalling 11.4, so they now just want a license or upgrade but it looks like the shows a massive difference in price if no smartboards are used and unsure if one license can be used for several teachers if they just have one board onsite but several touchscreens, as the price comes out the same for one smartboard as it does for several.

However I believe that at least the free version of SMART Notebook will only work on SMART boards/TVs and would need licensing to work on other devices (don't quote me on that though).Thank you very much for your response.
SMART NOTEBOOK 11 FREE TRIAL FOR FREE
We have 11.4 everywhere for ease of deployment, but we have a subscription licence for Smart 16 that only covers approximately 1/3 of our displays (No, I don't know why my predecessor thought that was a good idea either) We are a completely smart school so if we can use 19 for free that would solve a massive headache. However I believe that at least the free version of SMART Notebook will only work on SMART boards/TVs and would need licensing to work on other devices (don't quote me on that though).Do you know what the locked features are? I'm keeping an eye out for any users who want to use the locked features. A small handful may actually use Notebook to plan lessons and create Notebook files, which is still available in the free version of 19.0. Most of our staff use SMART Notebook to simply annotate/draw on the board. I could have paid to upgrade the license to unlock all the features, but it seems that we don't use most of the features that are locked. I upgraded our site from a perpetually licensed SMART Notebook 11.4 over the summer to 19.0.

SMART Notebook 19 can be used for free (with some features disabled, unless you license it).
