Since July 8, 2023, access to Goodnotes 6 through Apple School Manager has changed. In order to continue usage, you will need to have a License Key to fully install and use Goodnotes 6 on your institutes' devices. Below are some frequently asked questions related to our Goodnotes 6 product for both businesses and schools.
Will this change require my school / institution to migrate to a new app or install a new version of GoodNotes 5 or Goodnotes 6?
This change in deployment does not alter the app you're using, so no migration would be necessary with this change.
Simply contact us for a License Key and your app usage will continue with no disruption to your institute's daily workflow. If you already have a License Key, you can upgrade your configuration using the steps in this article. If you have upgraded and now want to downgrade back to GoodNotes 5, you can do so using the steps in this article.
Whilst this will not affect your institute's daily workflow or cause any data loss, it's always good practice to encourage students and teachers to regularly back up their notes.
