Toon Boom Harmony Advanced Support for Schools
Eligibility: Schools Only
The Toon Boom Academic Support Package is a 1-year specialized maintenance and tech-infrastructure service level agreement (SLA) engineered explicitly for school IT administrators deploying **Harmony Advanced** in high school career technical programs, animation labs, and intermediate studios. While standard student licenses only include baseline ticketing, this institutional maintenance package provides district technology coordinates with direct engineering access to **maintain traditional hand-drawn scanning pipelines, manage multi-user paperless arrays, and stabilize floating network license servers**.
By embedding this tier into annual school procurement configurations, curriculum directors ensure that high-resolution 4K rendering engines and specialized drawing tablets remain harmonized across local lab setups, mitigating software down-time during critical industry credential testing blocks.
