No that's the unupdated page. The weekend change is that it is unlimited. See the video above.

Nice! I'll be downloading and installing this at work in the next couple of days for evaluation.

Huge MSP link on their page. On a phone right now but it was very in my face when I looked this morning.

@scottalanmiller I see it listed, I just don't see anything on the free edition. Looks like it starts at $595

We keep posting this..... Their site has not been updated with the "free" info yet for any edition.

Hi Aaron,

The ServiceDesk Plus standard edition has been already released for free, but regarding the ServiceDesk Plus MSP, the release date for free edition has not been announced yet.

Hope it will be announced soon.

Thanks. Techcrunch said it already had. Although the MSP version is behind the other.

This FB response made me chuckle, I guess the guy never heard of Spiceworks....

@Bill-Kindle That's funny!

Very few actually have. I've never worked anywhere that knew of it b

[scottalanmiller]

Spiceworks does not dominate any software market. They are a minuscule player in the helpdesk software space.

[thanksajdotcom]

@scottalanmiller Yup. Their biggest selling point is that they're free. For free, they're alright. Lacking a lot but it's a loss leader for the community. If I was in their shoes, I would only be putting forth a genuine superficial effort as well but playing it out otherwise to keep hype up. It's smart marketing albeit very "grey" in many terms.

[scottalanmiller]

@ajstringham it isn't quite a loss leader. It makes a small revenue on its on. It's more of a "tiny margin" leader.
