Laplink is running a 24-hour promotion (I am not sure exactly when it will end) giving away PC Lock for FREE! They don’t specifically state this, but I believe this promotion is for a 12-month license only. After 12-months you may or may not be able to use PC Lock without paying (I don’t know).

Editor’s note: Please note that after this free 12-months license ends, your files will be locked and encrypted until you pay for another year’s worth of subscription. The only way to ensure your files are unencrypted when the free 12-months end is to uninstall PC Lock before your subscription ends. I suggest users skip out on this program and give freeware tools, like Truecrypt, a try instead.
