Smart TeamWorks Room perpetual software includes 5 year maintenance - TW-SW-5

Product Overview

SMART TeamWorks Room with perpetual license and 5-year maintenance (TW-SW-5) is a per-room software license for SMART Board interactive displays, designed for organizations that want long-term collaboration capabilities with five years of covered updates and support. It enables wireless screen sharing, digital whiteboarding, annotation, and video conferencing integration in any meeting room or classroom equipped with a compatible SMART Board. The perpetual license means the software remains functional indefinitely, while the 5-year maintenance period ensures access to all software updates and technical support through 2031. This is the highest-value TeamWorks Room bundle for organizations planning large-scale or long-horizon deployments.

Product Description

SMART TeamWorks Room transforms a SMART Board display into a fully featured collaboration hub without requiring users to install apps on their personal devices. Guests can share content wirelessly from Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, or ChromeOS devices using a browser-based connection, reducing friction for external participants. The integrated whiteboard offers an unlimited canvas for brainstorming, diagramming, and real-time annotation over any shared content or presentation.

The software integrates directly with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet, allowing the SMART Board to function as a dedicated room endpoint or as a touch-enabled companion display during video calls. Room-based licensing means each SMART Board requires one TW-SW-5 license — there are no per-user fees for meeting participants joining from within the room.

The 5-year maintenance period covers all software updates released by SMART Technologies during that window, along with access to technical support. After the maintenance period ends, the perpetual license continues to function on the installed software version, and organizations can renew coverage with a TW-SW-EXT1 annual extension. This bundle suits enterprise IT teams, higher education institutions, and large K-12 districts that want predictable licensing costs over a multi-year planning cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when the 5-year maintenance period ends?

The perpetual license remains active and the SMART Board continues to work with the installed software version. The display will no longer receive software updates or be eligible for technical support until a TW-SW-EXT1 maintenance extension is purchased.

How many licenses do I need for a 10-room deployment?

One TW-SW-5 license per SMART Board display. For 10 rooms, you need 10 licenses. There are no additional per-user fees for participants joining sessions from within the room.

Is TW-SW-5 compatible with all SMART Board models?

TW-SW-5 is compatible with SMART Board MX, MX Pro, GX, and Pro series displays. Check with your SMART reseller or SMART Technologies directly to confirm compatibility with your specific board model and firmware version.

Can meeting participants join without installing any software?

Yes. Guests can share content wirelessly via a browser-based connection on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, or ChromeOS. No app installation is required for basic participation.

Does the license cover Microsoft Teams and Zoom integration?

Yes. SMART TeamWorks Room includes integration with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet. The SMART Board can function as a room endpoint or as an interactive display alongside an existing room system.

Can I upgrade from TW-SW-1 or TW-SW-3 to TW-SW-5?

Contact SMART Technologies or your authorized reseller to discuss upgrade or co-term options. Typically, organizations purchase the appropriate term at initial deployment rather than upgrading mid-term.

What is the difference between TW-SW-5 and TW-CR-5?

TW-SW-5 is a perpetual room software license with 5-year maintenance. TW-CR-5 is a cloud-hosted subscription that expires after 5 years. The perpetual license continues to function after the maintenance window; the cloud subscription does not.
