Now, does the client have to purchase these programs and do they have to download the software to their computers or is it something I can control via the web? Thanks.

Yes the client would have to download the program to the computer you would be accessing. They have both free and pro options. From your end you access their computer from the web. __________________ Deb Frawley Gem's Virtual Office

I like that the client can switch LogMeIn off when I'm not using it which makes them feel comfortable that their computer is secure. __________________ Jána :daisy: www.virtually-supporting-you.com

Wow this forum is great!! Question for the LogMeIn users...is the Free version sufficient? And, when I'm accessing a client's computer with LogMeIn can they still be using their computer? Thanks so much! __________________ Melissa, The Golden Rule VA "Creative Virtual Assistance for Direct Sales Superstars!"
