Web Help Desk Free for Mac

12.0.1 on the Mac is compatible Mac OS® X 10.8 through 10.10. I'm running 10.11 and had to abandon WHD for now.

After hours of trying to install WHD in Ubuntu, I will give the OSX version a shot. It seems to run out of the box. Hope to post a review then. As some posters already mentioned, the license policy is not very clear. The free and the pro installer seem to be the same (?) and run for 30 days without any cost. You *CAN* then purchase a license. If you don't it is still free to use, but gives you only ONE tech admin account. From the login page of WHD: "After 30 days, if you have not provided a license, the application will automatically switch to a 1-Tech license allowing updates up to one year from today. Any Tech accounts other than the initial admin account will be marked as inactive. Deactivated accounts can be reactivated by purchasing a license." Hope this helps everyone, as the devs don't post anything here.

There is no free "Web Help Desk Free" application. There is only a 30 day demo version; after that the software costs at least $495. The version advertised here is the same as the version on the "Web Help Desk Pro" page (and there that version is incorrectly priced with $240). Macupdate, please correct this! I'm giving this 1/2 star because the company behind this software is deliberately misleading the people here on Macupdate and I don't like that.

Wow, this is free?

I have to add my .02 here too - I'm not sure if the fact I know how DNS works colors my opinion, but I found this software to be wonderful. It's easy to use, does a splendid job of organizing tickets and tech, and was super-simple to install. I highly recommend it. As far as the problems mentioned in another review; The install is package based. You double click a package and install the app just like any other when using the default database. If you have an existing database solution you want to leverage, you can use MySQL or something else. But unless you have an existing database or some specific reason, going with the default database is recommended. You can also easily change the port ( to the web default even; 80 ), and of course if you have any kind of DNS operating on your network this machine can be given a more easily accessible name. And the support is fantastic; I called to ask a few questions and an hour later not only had my issues addressed but was also given a complete overview of the product and it's capabilities. These guys use the product themselves everyday! If you need some kind of helpdesk solution, no matter what platform you are running I highly recommend Web Help Desk.
