Smart TeamWorks 5 Workspace Host, App account - 3 year subscription - TW-CA-3

Product Overview

SMART TeamWorks App Account 3-Year Subscription (TW-CA-3) is a per-user cloud subscription providing a named user with access to the SMART TeamWorks companion app for three years. It allows the user to connect their personal device to SMART Board room sessions, annotate shared content, contribute to the whiteboard canvas, and view materials on their own screen during collaborative meetings. Each license covers one named user and is designed to complement a room license from the TW-SW or TW-CR series. The 3-year term is a practical choice for organizations that align software subscriptions with standard 3-year IT procurement or hardware refresh cycles.

Product Description

The SMART TeamWorks companion app gives individual meeting participants interactive access to SMART Board sessions from their own devices. Rather than being limited to viewing the room display, users with an active app account can annotate content, contribute to the shared whiteboard, and follow along on their personal screen — simultaneously with the room display and other participants.

TW-CA-3 is a named-user license, so each individual requiring this level of access needs their own subscription. Organizations deploying TeamWorks across departments or campuses typically purchase app account subscriptions in quantity alongside room licenses to cover regular participants in their most active meeting spaces. The companion app runs on iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS, accommodating the range of devices found in corporate and educational environments.

The 3-year term provides the same full app account feature set as TW-CA-5 at a lower upfront cost, with a renewal point that aligns to typical procurement timelines. At renewal, organizations can continue with TW-CA-3 or upgrade to TW-CA-5 for longer coverage without another renewal cycle in the near term.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a room license and an app account?

A room license (TW-SW or TW-CR) enables collaboration features on the SMART Board display for everyone in the room. An app account (TW-CA) gives a specific named user the ability to interact from their own personal device — annotating, contributing to the whiteboard, and viewing content on their own screen.

Does every meeting participant need a TW-CA-3 license?

Only participants who need to interact from their own device require an app account. Casual participants who view the room display or share a screen without needing personal annotation access may not need a dedicated license.

Is TW-CA-3 a shared or named-user license?

It is a named-user license. Each individual who needs app access requires their own TW-CA-3. Licenses cannot be shared between users.

What happens at the end of the 3-year term?

App account access deactivates. The user will need a new TW-CA-3 or TW-CA-5 subscription to restore access.

What devices does the companion app support?

The SMART TeamWorks companion app runs on iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS.

Does TW-CA-3 work with both cloud room and perpetual room licenses?

Yes. App account subscriptions work alongside TW-SW (perpetual) and TW-CR (cloud) room licenses on compatible SMART Board MX, MX Pro, GX, and Pro series displays.
