Clicker Books for Chromebook
Follow these steps to install and license Clicker Books (or start a trial).
Note: everything on Chromebook happens per user instead of per device:
- When you install an app, it's just for you. If someone else signs into the same Chromebook, the app won't appear for them.
- Once installed, the app will appear automatically on any Chromebook you sign into!
All Clicker Apps for Chromebook share a single license. If you become licensed to one Clicker App, you'll be licensed for all of them!
