Join Likewise this Fall at an Event Near You


In the month where Classic Rock stations and Colorado baseball teams are celebrating their “Rocktober,” here at Likewise we’re partying to a similar theme. Downloads of Likewise Open are at an all-time high, and it’s now being used by over 35,000 organizations around the world. Now that’s rockin'.

In addition to the high rate of software downloads, we just announced the release of Likewise Open 5.3, which includes full support for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, plus both 32-bit and 64-bit support. You can get this right now on our site.

We’ve met so many of you this year at various shows and conferences, and it’s always great to see folks out there wearing Likewise t-shirts and to hear the positive things that you are saying about the software. As always, your feedback, both encouraging and constructive, means the world to our team and we greatly thank you for that. We look forward to meeting many more Likewise users in the coming months, and hopefully, to host some of you on upcoming webinars.

In the meantime, enjoy the fall colors and the excitement of the season. We look forward to seeing you at the next Likewise event.
