PENfriend has a portfolio of three free software. The Utility Software gives you peace of mind with ease of use. The Label Manager is for the specialist who wishes for more control over their vast number of recordings. The Label Conversion Software is really for the engineer and needs more computing skills. All are free but all software will only run on Windows based computers. With some interfaces, you may find a warning asking if you are sure that you wanted to download a program from an unknown publisher. This is a new security system that Microsoft has put into place. Please don't be put off. Once a certain number of downloads have happened, Microsoft will automatically remove this warning. 
We recommend that you listen to the Video for instructions.
