I used LMI ages ago when I wanted to access my MegaCorpUSA laptop (which was bloody heavy) from home. Then we got lighter laptops, and LMI became irrelevant.
But it does seem like a pretty shitty way to treat people, promising one thing then reneging on it.
It is a bit odd that they had to do it so suddenly. Like, that's never going to go well from a PR view. We use it quite a lot at work, but so much so we subscribed sometime last year anyway so I think we're OK.
Yeah I can't blame them one bit for wanting to charge for the product they produce, it's all about the way they went about it. And I'd say that's why 99+% are fucked off at them as well.
All I can see is that if I were still of one of their non-paying customers I'd be jumping ship too. It's just a pity that it's too late to sign up for a free account simply so I could then storm off. That would've learned 'em, but now they'll never know.
Massive PR fail. The smart thing would have been: 'you may continue using the service for free for 6-months (or 3, or 1), and if you sign up now we will give you an x% discount on the first year'. Or have some kind of crippleware or adware free version.
I use teamviewer, hopefully they're not next.
I want to switch to them anyway but even the paid corporate version limits you to three concurrent sessions. Weird limitation, stops it being much good even for our small corp.
Indeed. If that's the way they're gonna treat their freeloaders, they don't deserve to have any! :Y
It's been a helluva long time in beta then! :Y
