If you have just bought a laptop or computer you want to use for school you will probably want to install Office and ActivInspire on it. Where possible you should be moving away from ActivInspire as it is not really developed any more but it's still currently available.


Office


  1. Go to www.office.com and log in with your school e-mail address and password
  2. Click on Install Office near the top right, then Office 365 apps
  3. Open the file it downloaded and follow any instructions that appear on screen.


ActivInspire


  1. Go to https://support.prometheanworld.com/activinspire-download-en-gb and select Windows or Mac, then fill out the details and you will be sent a download link. You need to tick the "Terms and Conditions" box before the download button appears, but the other box about contacting you is optional. Once you receive the email click on the link to download the installer.
  2. Open the installer and follow through the prompts. You can just click "Next" and leave everything at the default setting, and accept the licence agreement.
  3. Open ActivInspire - there should be a shortcut on the start menu or desktop. When you see this screen, tick the box and click Run Personal Edition. You don't need to enter your name or activation key
  4. It will look a little different to the version we use in school - in school we are using a much older version as we do not have a site licence for the newer version.
