SMART Board 500 series is no longer supported

SMART no longer support SB500 series boards on the following Operating Systems: Mac OS 10.6, “Snow Leopard,” Mac 10.7 “Lion” and later versions; and Windows OS Vista and later versions. In addition to this, older (supported) operating systems will work ‘as is’ with no future hardware/software upgrades.

There are known issues with SMART Board 500 series boards with later editions of MAC OS and Windows OS, and therefore this product is not officially supported, unless it is on an older OS. Customers should be encouraged to upgrade to the latest SMART Board interactive whiteboard or interactive display technology.

There are issues with using this type of Serial to USB cable on new computers, as it is an older technology and was never meant to work with these systems. Customers should therefore be encouraged to upgrade to the latest SMART Board interactive whiteboard or interactive display technology.
