Logmein free is logmein NOT

Well.. I logged into my login me in accounts yesterday and got this notice…You have 7 days to pay up or move on.. whoa! Looks like logmein is killing off their free remote desktop service with virtually no notice. And changing the usage parameters and prices of a lot of their other products! Understandably there is a lot of rage out there.

Sure there are the whiners that are having a free product taken away from them… But the biggest legit rants are from people that bought services to work in conjunction with their free clients, and now the free clients are getting axed rendering those paid products useless. I for one will be migrating away from Logmein products as I have lots all sense of credibility with a company that changes its products on a whim and their price structure with no notice. I can’t recommend or use a product if I their TOS and prices are going to change radically. Maybe it’s a business decision on their part, or from my perspective this is the desperate move of a company scrambling for capital or resources. Either way it makes for an unstable platform to invest in.

So if you have clients that have free log me in accounts pass on to them that the ticker starts on the 7 day window the moment they log into their LogMeIn account. But they won’t get notification that there is a 7 day notice until they log in.. nice catch22.

RemotePCI just started using RemotePC and it’s pretty good. They even have a limited use free version that may work for some people.
