Authorizing Livescribe™ Desktop
As a Livescribe user, all your Livescribe tools link to each other using the same email address and
password. This means that your smartpen registration, your Livescribe Online account, and your
installations of Livescribe Desktop, all identify themselves to each other using the
same email address
and password
.
When you use Livescribe Desktop on a computer for the first time, Livescribe Desktop will ask you to
log on to your Livescribe Online account. After doing so, that installation of Livescribe Desktop will be
authorized for (or linked to) your account.
You can use Livescribe Desktop on as many computers as you like, and you can use as many
smartpens as you like. Just ensure that when you authorize Livescribe Desktop and register your
smartpens, that you use the same email address and password as your Livescribe Online account.

If you are upgrading from a pre-2.0 version, Livescribe™ Desktop will migrate all existing
Livescribe data on your computer to a new format and location. This is necessary to support new
and future features.
2.
Connect your USB mobile charging cradle (for Pulse™ smartpens) or Micro-USB cable (for Echo™
smartpens) to your computer and dock your smartpen. Docking your Livescribe™ smartpen will
transfer your notes and audio to Livescribe™ Desktop automatically. Once you dock the smartpen,
do not remove it until the transfer is complete. Livescribe™ Desktop will display a message
confirming the transfer was successful.
3.
If prompted, type a name for your smartpen. This is the name that this computer and all other
computers you link to will display when you dock and work with your smartpen. This name is also
displayed on your smartpen when you power it on.
4.
If you have not registered your Livescribe™ smartpen, Livescribe™ Desktop will prompt you to do
so. Once you register, you will be able to upload notes, install applications, and create a personal
account on Livescribe Online. See
Registering Your Smartpen on page 76
for more information.
