How to Download Smaart

Whether you've just purchased Smaart for the first time or you're looking to install Smaart on a new computer, these instructions are intended to help you get started.

First, head to https://my.rationalacoustics.com and log into your license management account. Note: You will be asked to log in with your Account Name, not your email address. If you've lost your account name, click the "Trouble Logging In?" link. This will send you an email that contains both a password reset link and your account name, as a reminder.

If you haven't registered your license yet:

If you are attempting to download a freshly purchased edition of Smaart, you'll need to register it to this account by clicking the "+ Register a New License" button and entering your license number, which is emailed to you upon purchase.

If you've already registered your license(s):

Upon logging in, your account will be open to the "Software Licenses" tab. If for some reason this doesn't happen, click "Software Licenses" on the side menu. This menu should show each of your Smaart licenses, listed by edition/version.

Alternatively, you can click "Downloads" for a list of Smaart Editions and/or versions you've registered to your account, complete with download links for Windows and MacOS.

Note: If you are looking for a v7 license (or earlier), your license may not be listed on this page. To view these older versions of Smaart, scroll to the bottom of this page and click this link in the bottom-right corner.

Next, navigate to the Smart edition you're looking to download and click "Details". You will then be brought to a page with information on your current installs, a link to purchase additional installs, and download links for both MacOS and Windows.

From here, click the appropriate download button and note where the installer is saved on your computer. The first time you open Smaart, you will be asked to activate.
