Schoolnet Upgrade and New ScanIt Version
Pearson has released Schoolnet 17.1 and NCDPI is tentatively planning to upgrade beginning Friday,
Dec. 18, after 6 p.m. As part of the upgrade to 17.1, there will be a new version of ScanIt. The new
version of ScanIt is 7.0.7, and it is compatible with both Schoolnet 17.0 (our current version) and
Schoolnet 17.1.
After the Schoolnet upgrade to 17.1 is complete, when users log in and launch ScanIt they will be
prompted to upgrade to the new version 7.0.7. Please note that the upgrade will not impact previously
printed answer sheets from ScanIt 7.0.6. Answer sheets printed from Schoolnet 17.0 and ScanIt 7.0.6

will still work with Schoolnet 17.1 and ScanIt 7.0.7. Pearson development and QA have extensively
tested answer sheets generated in Schoolnet 17.0 and the previous version of ScanIt, namely, 7.0.6,
with Schoolnet 17.1 and ScanIt 7.0.7 successfully.
If you are not using ScanIt 7.0.6, please contact the Home Base Support Center for help with installing
the current version. To check your version of ScanIt, please launch ScanIt and look at the number next
to the word ScanIt in the middle of the launch screen.
