License / session limits
Session Limits / License numbers:
Texas Instruments allows a maximum of 3 active sessions per user across devices.
Columbus State has a limited number of concurrent licenses for TI-SmartView:
- TI-84 / CE - 150 seats
- TI-30 / MathPrint - 20 seats
Proper Logout Required:
Because of the limited sessions/licenses, it is crucial to log out fully each time you are finished using both TI-84 and TI-30 software. If you forget to log out, it could mean the next instructor (possibly you) won't be able to log in.
Log out by going to Help -> Sign Out within the emulator program (found at the bottom of the Help menu). Simply closing the program will not end the session. Each session must be signed out individually to free up a slot.
Automatic Release:
If a session is not logged out correctly, it will remain active but will automatically release after 10 days.
