LuxSci is including one free WebAide collaboration license with all new accounts effective immediately.  This license offers one user in the account the full range of LuxSci’s WebAide collaboration suite – calendars, tasks, address books, blogs, document storage, password storage, notes, web links, and user groups – for free.  It also permits sharing of these tools globally with other users in the account.

Note that this offer only applies to accounts with email hosting at LuxSci.  It does not apply to High Volume SMTP accounts and accounts with only Premium Email Filtering or Archival services.

If you order WebAides as part of your account using our ordering tools, the first license will be free.

If you have an existing account without WebAides and would like to try them out, the Main Administrator of the account should create a Support Ticket with the request and we can grant you one free WebAide license as well.

LuxSci’s Passwords WebAide, which has been extensively updated,  makes it quick and easy to securely store all of your numerous passwords in one central location, and to share access to these with other users on a per-password basis, if needed.  We’ve just made it very easy to also export your saved encrypted passwords from the Passwords WebAide.  Use this feature to make your own backups of password lists, plus get printer friendly lists of those passwords to save in a secure location or to use as a reference when updating passwords.
