You have the option of using the Activation Wizard for either automatic or manual activation. If the
computer isn’t connected to the Internet or your firewall is blocking the SMART server, you’re unable
to use the automatic activation option.

If you have a firewall that blocks access to the SMART server, SMART recommends you configure
a proxy that allows you to access the server ( https://webservices.smarttech.com ).
If you manually activate your software, you can use one of three methods in the Activation Wizard.
SMART recommends using the methods in the following order:
1. Self-serve web portal
