Getting New Applications
Livescribe and other companies offer new applications for your Livescribe™ smartpen. You can
download these from the Livescribe Online Store. Just go to
www.livescribe.com/store
and browse the
applications available. Some applications are free and others are available for purchase. These
applications are designed to work like the built-in applications that come with your Livescribe™
smartpen. Visit the store regularly to check for new updates.
After you download a new application, you can use Livescribe™ Desktop and add it to any
Livescribe™ smartpen registered to your Livescribe account.
All applications are installed through Livescribe Desktop. Livescribe Desktop installs downloaded
applications to your smartpen under a new
Applications
menu. This menu is the first menu item
underneath the Main Menu and is available after you install your first downloaded application.
There are three basic steps to get new applications for your smartpen:
1.
Purchasing an Application on page 70
2.
Downloading an Application on page 71
3.
Installing an Application on page 72

By default, Livescribe Desktop automatically downloads and installs applications and their updates
when you dock one of your registered smartpens. This feature is called auto-install. You can disable
it by changing the Smartpen user setting. See
Smartpen Settings on page 9
. If this feature is
enabled, you do not have to manually download and install applications as described in this section.
Instead, Livescribe Desktop will manage this process automatically.
