SAM UK can also help with selected specialist software requirements and renewals. If the product is not listed elsewhere on the site, send us the current product, quantities and renewal details and we will confirm the available licensing route.
Netop remote access
SAM UK handles licensing and renewal enquiries for current Netop remote-access products, including Netop Remote Control and Netop OnDemand.
Netop's former Vision classroom-management product has been discontinued, so enquiries for current Netop products should be based on the required remote-access or support environment rather than the old Netop School licensing model.

Fender Studio and Notion
SAM UK handles enquiries for current Fender Studio Pro and Fender Studio Pro+ software.
PreSonus Notion 6 was withdrawn from sale in January 2026. Fender Notion is now the free cross-platform notation application in the Fender Studio family, while Fender Studio Pro and Pro+ provide the current paid music-production options.
If you are replacing an older Notion or Studio One deployment, tell us what is currently licensed and what the organisation now requires.
