I'm still confused, can I watch a video about the per-user login changes? If you would like any student to log onto those computers, you will need to pin a practice room subscription onto it. So your students would not be able to log onto those computers with their accounts if they do not have their own subscriptions. However, to use those subscriptions you would have to log on with your email address and password.
There are no restrictions to the number of computers or how often you can use your student subscriptions. This text is copied from an email conversation with a SmartMusic support person: Here's a little clarification on the differences between practice room and student subscriptions as it relates to using them in the music ed classroom.
The new smartmusic Pc#
Later this fall (2013) MakeMusic will be releasing a version of the iPad app that will allow a practice room subscription to be applied to an iPad instead of a PC or Mac. At that point you can activate as many machines as you have subscriptions for and those subscriptions stay active even if a student is not logged in with their own personal account. In order to get a practice room subscription you must also have an educator subscription. The third kind of subscription is the practice room subscription ($44/year) which is intended to be tied semi-permanently to a specific computer.
The new smartmusic license#
The license is tied to the user now, not to the device. Like the educator subscription a student subscription can be used on any PC or Mac as well as the iPad app. Second is the student subscription ($40/year) which a student or family can purchase to allow their child to access and practice using SmartMusic at home. Thus, if you want to use it on a PC and then later the same day use it on an iPad you can do so, you just have to log in on the second device which will theoretically log you out of the first. An educator subscription works like a student subscription in that it is not tied to a specific computer any more. If you will be using SmartMusic in a professional context in a school or a private studio this is the subscription you need. SmartMusic has three kinds of subscriptions available.įirst, for schools and teachers is the Educator subscription which costs $140 a year. What kinds of subscriptions are available for SmartMusic and how do you use each one? If you have other questions after reading this document you can also check the official SmartMusic FAQ over on their website. SmartMusic is a powerful program, but it does not always work the way you might expect it to. Some of these answers may be explained in other places, but it took me so long to find the answers that I finally decided to write them all up in one place to hopefully help out any other teachers that are struggling with this.
The new smartmusic portable#
I asked a bunch of questions to the SmartMusic guru's from a list of my own personal frequently asked questions about SmartMusic and how subscriptions will work between multiple computers or portable devices. With all of the new changes in SmartMusic including the new iPad app they released last winter I have been confused as to how exactly things are going to work for my students this fall with SmartMusic's change to a new per-user login system.
