About This Guide
This guide explains how to install or remove SMART Meeting Pro software and
SMART Product Drivers, as well as how to customize your installation.
This guide is intended for IT administrators and others experienced with installing, configuring and administering Windows® software in a networked environment. To use this guide, you must:
• Know IT terminology, such as “registry” and “domain controller”
• Know how to complete basic administrative tasks in Windows operating systems, such as opening Windows Control Panel and modifying the registry
• Have administrative privileges and access to your company’s servers
• Have access to the SMART support site at http://www.smarttech.com/support
About SMART Meeting Pro
SMART Meeting Pro is an easy-to-use interactive whiteboard application that enhances your SMART interactive product experience.
In Whiteboard mode, you can make digital notes in the drawing area and then distribute those notes to meeting participants. You can also use Whiteboard mode to create new presentations or to open existing ones.
2 |
C H A P T E R 1 – W E L C O M E
In Desktop mode, you can launch application files or a web browser, use the Ink Layer to write over these applications, and then capture the marked up screen image into your Whiteboard presentation. You can also save your notes and drawings directly into your active file when using an Ink Aware application.
SMART Product Drivers
SMART Meeting Pro includes SMART Product Drivers, which translate screen contact into mouse behavior. When you install SMART Meeting Pro on a computer that’s connected to a SMART interactive product, such as an interactive whiteboard, you have touch control of the computer as soon as the computer starts.
Computer Requirements
Before installing SMART Meeting Pro, ensure your computer meets the following requirements.
Hardware
• 1 GHz Pentium® 4 processor or faster
• 1 GB of RAM (2 GB recommended)
• 275 MB of disk space for minimum installation (1.35 GB recommended)
• 10 Mbps network connection (100 Mbps recommended) supporting TCP/IP
• Video card support for Microsoft® DirectX® technology
• Available powered USB or serial port
Software
• Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista® (32-bit or 64-bit), Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit)
• DirectX 9 or later (recommended)
• Internet Explorer® 6.0 or later
• Adobe® Reader® 5 or later (recommended)
Chapter 2
Installing SMART
Meeting Pro
You can install SMART Meeting Pro on your computers using the installation wizard, the command line interface or SMART Install Manager (using Windows Group Policy for deployment). Regardless of which tool you use, review the information in this chapter before proceeding with the installation.
Selecting a Tool
You can customize the SMART Meeting Pro installation packages using one of the following tools:
• Installation wizard
• Command line interface
• SMART Install Manager
The installation wizard is best if you’re installing SMART Meeting Pro on a small
number of computers. For more information, see Chapter 3, Using the Installation
The command line interface is best if you use Windows Installer with remote management software to automate the installation of software across your company’s
network. For more information, see Chapter 4, Using the Command Line Interface on page 9.
SMART Install Manager is best if you’re deploying SMART Meeting Pro across a network and prefer to use SMART Install Manager, rather than a command line interface, to customize the installation packages. You can then use third-party software to automate the installation of software across your company’s network. For
more information, see Chapter 5, Using SMART Install Manager on page 21.

C H A P T E R 2 – I N S T A L L I N G S M A R T M E E T I N G P R O
Gathering Required and Optional
Information
Before installing SMART Meeting Pro, have the following information available:
• Your software product key. When you order a SMART Meeting Pro license, your authorized SMART reseller gives you a product key to activate the software. If you don’t have a product key, you can use the software for a 30-day trial period.
• Your e-mail server and e-mail address. Omitting this option disables the e-mail function, so you’re unable to send meeting notes from the interactive whiteboard by e-mail.
Upgrading from a Previous Version
When you install SMART Meeting Pro, the software automatically removes older versions of the software and drivers, and then installs the most recent SMART
Product Drivers before upgrading SMART Meeting Pro. You don’t need to manually remove previous versions before upgrading.
NOTES
• Record the current SMART Meeting Pro settings, such as the e-mail server name, because you may need to re-enter this information when you upgrade
SMART Meeting Pro.
• You don’t have to reactivate SMART Meeting Pro, because your computer retains your product key information.
Installing Service Packs
SMART offers upgrades for licensed users.
You can use SMART Product Update (SPU) to download any available service packs and install them to add new features and to fix known problems.
To update SMART Meeting
Pro using SPU
1.
Click the SMART Meeting Pro icon, and then select Control Panel.
2.
Select About Software and Product Support > Tools > Check for Updates.
