From July 8, 2023, GoodNotes 5 is no longer offered as a free download for users via Apple Business Manager*. The app has been replaced by GoodNotes for Institutions and will require a License Key to continue using after December 31st, 2023.
In order to download or continue receiving access, IT Administrators of respective companies and educational institutions will be required to reach out to our business team in order to receive a Licence Key that will allow access to be reinstated.
*While this pricing change only affects business users of the app, educational institutions that use GoodNotes 5 with Apple School Manager will also need to reach out to us to regain free access. Access will continue to remain free for educational users, however they must obtain a license key to continue usage after July 8,2023.
