Updating SMART software
To update the SMART software on a Windows or Mac computer, go to the SMART software download
page or use SMART Product Update.

management system can find and apply updates automatically if SMART software was installed from
SMART’s package repository directly (provided the package management system is configured

SMART website for software updates and install them manually.
