  • macCompanion Gives LicenseKeeper 4 Stars

    The macCompanion e-Magazine reviewed LicenseKeeper in their April Issue (Page 50 – the PDF index is wrong in my copy). Strenghts: A one-stop-shop for licenses and supporting documentation. Weaknesses: Does not import Emails from non Mail.app Email programs. No password protection for itself. Well, not to worry. Version 1.1 is coming and it adds full […]
