Bellevue, WA – Tomorrow, May 15, Laplink celebrates 25 years as the global leader in file transfer, synchronization, remote access, and migration. – Laplink is still connecting people and their PCs. – then again, not every day is Laplink's 25th birthday.
Founded in 1983 not long after the original IBM-PC was launched, a company called "Traveling Software" forever changed how PCs connect and transfer data. This "LapLink" software (and cables) helped launch an entire category of connectivity software - file transfer, synchronization, remote control, and migration.
Today - after 25 years, millions of customers and billions of files
To celebrate this milestone, Laplink is offering a free copy of PCmover tomorrow only, to everyone who visits their web site. No purchase necessary, no strings attached, and no gimmicks.
PCmover automatically moves selected files, folders, settings, and even applications from an old PC to a new one. It's the #1 selling migration product and is widely regarded as the best migration solution available. PCmover is even recommended by the official magazines for Windows XP and Vista.
The regular price for a download of PCmover is $50, but for one day only it's completely free. You might occasionally get a cup of coffee free, but not a $50 piece of software
In addition to free copies of PCmover for everyone, many other products are free or nearly free including; free Gateway laptops, free Targus laptop bags, free Microsoft products, free Laplink 2 GB USB sticks, products like Spy Sweeper, RegistryBooster, PerfectDisk, and more. (Visit
If you were using a PC 15 or 20 years ago, you remember the alternative to Laplink for transferring large files was the painful use of "floppies" and "file splitting" software and how happy you were when you discovered Laplink.
Today, Laplink continues to build great software focused on efficient file transfer, synchronization, and remote access technologies. USB 2.0 direct connect cables have replaced serial cables and secure broadband (not dial-up networking) is what we use for Internet connectivity.
But just as in the past, PC users want what Laplink provides: simple, easy to use, and fast software to synchronize multiple PCs, the ability to use your phone to access a PC remotely, and PCmover to automatically move from an old PC to a new one.
"I got to know Traveling Software (Laplink) before they shipped their first file transfer program and have used their products ever since." said Andrew Seybold, President of Andrew Seybold, Inc. "They have always had a remarkable understanding of the problems involved in file transfer and data synchronization and have fielded great solutions. Congratulations to Laplink on their 25th year anniversary."
