Logmein no longer free

Post by FlyingPenguin »

Surprised they didn't kill it off sooner. Gonna miss it.

Teamviewer is a good free alternative.

Even though they say the cutoff day is today, I just logged in and they are giving a grace period of a week.
As of January 21, 2014, LogMeIn Free will no longer be available. To continue using remote access, you will need to purchase an account subscription of LogMeIn Pro.

A new Pro account includes our signature remote access with premium features like remote printing, file transfer and cloud data access, plus desktop, iOS and Android apps to improve your experience.

As a loyal LogMeIn user, you are eligible for discounted introductory pricing. Subscription packages start at $49/year for two computers (50% off regular price)*. Visit the pricing page for details, and buy now.

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to serving you for many years to come.

Sincerely,
The LogMeIn Team

I was just coming over to post this as well.

Are you referring to the same TeamSpeak we use to game chat on?

Ack, brain fart, I meant Teamviewer.

http://www.teamviewer.com

As full featured as Logmein free. Light on resources. If you setup a free online account with them, it will keep track of your computer ID numbers. You can set it up for unattended access.

Well that's unfortunate. I really liked the setup with them but not enough to pay for it.

I'll try teamviwer, thanks!

Wow, just like that. I guess I'm going to have to reload a bunch of computers.

Yup, that's what I just spent the night doing. FYI: You can install Teamviewer remotely on a PC using Logmein with no problems. Both can co-exist.
