Digital signage for education, in plain terms.
Digital signage for education replaces printed notice boards and paper timetables with screens across a school or campus, all driven from one content management system. LiveSign is that CMS.
Reception displays, corridor and department boards, hall screens, and staff-room panels all update centrally, so what is on the wall matches what the office sent this morning. The value for a school is the time back and the print budget saved. Announcements, event schedules, and timetable changes are updated once and reach every screen on campus in seconds, and a campus-wide alert layout can be pushed to all screens at once when it matters.
Budget is usually the deciding factor. Per-screen subscription fees add up quickly across a whole site, so LiveSign offers a perpetual licence: buy the software once instead of paying a recurring per-screen fee indefinitely. Where data-protection policy requires it, the CMS can also be self-hosted on school-controlled infrastructure. Longhill High School in the UK runs Live today.

THE BRIEF
The problems you actually have, and what Live does about them.
No feature list. Four situations education teams hit, and the part of Live CMS that answers each one.
THE PROBLEM
Notice boards and printed timetables go out of date the moment they're printed.
HOW LIVE HELPS
Update announcements, event schedules, and timetables centrally from Live CMS and push changes to every screen on campus in seconds.
THE PROBLEM
School IT budgets are tight, and per-screen subscription fees add up fast across a whole campus.
HOW LIVE HELPS
A perpetual licence option means a school can buy the software once instead of paying a recurring per-screen fee indefinitely.
THE PROBLEM
Different buildings and departments need different content on their screens.
HOW LIVE HELPS
Group displays by building or department, and manage user access by group, so each department can manage its own screens.
THE PROBLEM
Data protection policy may require content and management to stay on school-controlled infrastructure.
HOW LIVE HELPS
Self-hosted deployment is supported, with dedicated support on the Enterprise plan.
Reliable software that stands up to the best in the industry for half the price.
WHERE IT RUNS
The screens education teams actually put up, and what goes on them.
Six places a screen earns its keep, and the content that belongs on each one.
Reception and main entrance
Visitor information, the day's events, safeguarding notices, and the current lockdown or fire status, scheduled so the front of the school is always current.
Corridor and department boards
Subject news, achievement recognition, exam reminders, and deadlines, grouped by department so each faculty updates only its own screens.
Timetable and room changes
Same-day room moves and cover arrangements pushed to the screens outside affected rooms, so students are not reading last term's printout.
Hall and canteen
Assembly content, lunch menus, club sign-ups, and whole-school announcements on the large screens where everyone gathers.
Campus-wide alerts
A pre-built alert layout that overrides normal content on every screen at once for a drill or an incident, then clears when it is over.
Staff room
Briefing notes, duty rotas, INSET information, and internal reminders on a screen for staff, on the same CMS and login structure.
HARDWARE
Runs on the screens you already have.
Schools tend to run whatever the classroom estate already uses. Windows fits sites that image and manage PCs centrally. Android keeps the per-screen cost low for a large rollout. Linux suits schools with a managed Linux desktop programme.
LICENSING
Buy it once with a capital budget, instead of a bill every year.
A per-screen monthly fee across a whole campus is hard to sustain on a school budget. The perpetual licence lets a school buy the software outright from a capital budget and keep running it, and self-host the CMS on its own infrastructure for data-protection reasons. The Professional plan at $12 per display per month is there if a subscription suits the finance model better.
Digital signage for education: common questions
Can we buy it once instead of paying every year?
Yes. LiveSign offers a perpetual licence: buy the software outright rather than pay a recurring per-screen subscription. The $12 per display per month plan is also available if a subscription fits your finance model better.
Can content stay on school-controlled infrastructure?
Yes. The Live CMS can be self-hosted on the school's own servers rather than the LiveSign cloud, which is the usual choice where data-protection policy requires it. Dedicated self-hosting support is on the Enterprise plan.
Can we push an alert to every screen at once?
Yes. Build an alert layout in advance and push it to all displays at once for a drill or an incident. It overrides normal content and clears when you end it.
Can departments manage their own boards?
Yes. Group displays by building or department and give each faculty a login scoped to its own screens. The office keeps control of whole-school content.
Is a school actually using LiveSign?
Yes. Longhill High School in the UK runs Live across its site.
Is there a trial?
Yes. 14 days, a choice of two players, no credit card.
