I have been a free user. Paid fir upgrade based on threat to disable current capabilities; however still showing Free User and again prompting me to upgrade. Logout/login and reinstall doesn’t help. Credit card charged. Submitted email to support address but no confirmation of receipt or commitment when I MIGHT get support as a paid customer.
Hi @bowensa4
I see your case in our support queue, it should be assigned soon and an agent will in contact. You can check the status of your support case by going to the support site and clicking on My Cases at the top.
Having the same issue. Looks like I have to open up a case with support.
Send E-mail to: removed by GlennD
Check status of your case at: support.logmeininc.com/lastpass
Log in and click "My Cases" on the top menu bar.
My experience: Sent an E-mail two days in a row and posted messages here. This board just reassured that tech support will work on it. I received no E-mail responses to my submissions. You just have to wonder if someone has seen it and when they may do something with it. My status did suddenly switch to Premium 48 hours later. Still no message of any kind to either tell me they fixed it or to ask if I had any other concerns before closing the ticket.
Opinion: Much like what they did with GoToMyPC, the individual customer does not appear to be their focus and I won't be surprised if they explode the cost of LastPass also in order to focus on just the commercial sector like they did with their GoTo products. Disappointing since I really like this software solution. When I first started using it 6 years ago it was $12 for a full year. My fingers are crossed that they don't force out non-commercial customers by skyrocketing the cost or further eliminating functionality like they just did for what device they'll let you connect with.
Hi @bowensa4
I've edited your post because the information you provided is incorrect. If you need to contact support you need to open a support ticket though our support site. If you just send an email to the address you provided it will go into the void and you will not get a reply. Tickets opened through the support site are routed to specific groups based on what is entered, for example we have additional agents working on the queue specific to this billing issue so that we can get the tickets addresses as soon as possible.
+1 to this after just going premium. I see the stuff about raising a ticket etc. which I have. Avoided premium after massive price hike a few years ago. There are free alternatives and paying this year is my way of buying time to look into what to do and be in a better position to jump ship when renewal time comes. Already thinking paying was a bad idea. How hard is it to get this first step right? I was expecting to come here and see it was a common issue and something along the lines of "Do x,y,z" to sort it. **bleep** I'll be typing in all caps next........
Exact same thing happened to me. I have the receipt on my computer as a pdf for proof that I paid. It's been over 5 days and my account is still showing free. Have put in two support tickets, and got a reply saying "Received" but no other contact.
This leads me to believe that LogMeIn (parent company) is in over their heads. They bought the company but didn't update the software. Maybe they let go the senior software engineer that knew all the code and could have fixed this problem in a day. That's is what typically happens in similar situations. I know because I was a software engineer for over 30 years and it happened several times in companies I was in. It's not uncommon. Sometimes a company recovers, and sometimes they don't. Recovery can be very very painful, with Customer Service taking the brunt of the complaints, getting cussed out with foul language, and management having the worst headache of their careers. It's not a pretty picture. Let's hope this is NOT the case with LogMeIn, but to me, it certainly appears to be the case.
Make no mistake this is a software issue. The software is not doing what they need it to do. They probably (they should) have software teams working 24x7 to get this fixed. A large number of people are being affected, and a revenue stream has been disrupted. It's literally one of the worst things that can happen to a software company. Let's all pray that they get the problem(s) solved quickly.
Hi @MikePax
Sorry for any frustration. This particular issue while incredibly annoying is on a much smaller scale than you are imagining. Unfortunately, it does take a little time and a human to correct the issue.
Glenn,
Thank you for putting my mind at ease. I'll wait for the fix. In the meantime, I'm only slightly inconvenienced. LastPass is still working 100 percent and that is great.
Thanks
