imageLogMeIn has been one of my favorite tools for years and I have been using the Free version for my personal use to connect to all of my PC’s for remote control. Now LogMeIn has pulled the plug on the free version. If you still want to continue using this product you will have to purchase the Pro version that costs $99 a year though there is a discount for the initial purchase to $49 for the first year. If you want some other alternatives take a look at these two Lifehacker articles. Hopefully they will be helpful in determining which direction that you want to go.

Just as a reminder, if you are one of our customers and your office operation consists of five or more machines, consider our security suite product that includes four security components that every business computer user should consider, antivirus, anti-malware and patch management. The fourth component is the that will interest you if you need remote access to your office machine. LogMeIn Pro is part of this package and when you consider the cost of all the components if purchased separately then our security suite is a pretty sweet deal. Just $5/month/workstation gets you all of this protection. That’s $60/year/workstation, compare that to the just the cost of LogMeIn by itself at around $99 per year plus your antivirus program, plus antimalware.
