Choosing the Right SuperNova Licence

SuperNova has two different licence types which suit educational organisations:

  • Personal Licence (single user)
  • Professional Licence (multi-user)

If you have a single student with accessibility needs, choose the Personal Licence and install the SuperNova edition directly on to their device.

If you h
ave more than one student with a visual impairment at your setting, a Professional Licence is a better choice. This enables you to choose and install any of the SuperNova editions to meet the needs of all students who are blind or partially sighted.
