Don't you hate it when software developers put a US flag against the language English when you're English?

Software Informer must not be to concerned or they are sure they aren't making money buy suggesting software updates. for them to offer a free version of a competitor Sumo Pro which does what Software Informer does????

I'm willing to give Sumo Pro a try as Software Informer keeps advising some software need updating (when it does not)
or never tells me other software that IS out of date.

Please help - nowhere can I find the "Question Mark" mentioned in the read-me file - to go to, to enter the name and registration number! ???

Worked for the PortableApps.com version. A definite keeper.

i alredy download ,but how can get activation code?

The Readme.txt file indicates in the "Terms and conditions" that the software 'comes with the following important limitations': 2) No free "upgrades" to future versions.

I personally make a distinction between an "upgrade" and an "update". The user interface has a menu item to "Get Update" and in the Settings you can activate options to "Check for new versions of SUMo at startup" and to "Check for updates at startup".

Seeing as how they also seem to distinguish between "new versions" (i.e. upgrades) and "updates", I would assume that it is safe to get updates without losing the pro version. However, I would like to know if this is true, or if one loses the pro version both by updating and by upgrading.

I Have downloaded it to-day as a giveaway got my licensing code with the read me I go to were it says about I did this ( Installation I did as it said went too put it in for registering it put my name then the code the giveaway gave me put it in there & got told its not the code.

It can be a useful piece of software but can be quite aggressive, so care needs to be taken in setting up the options.

I used it on a previous giveaway and pretty much let it do it's thing automatically but it screwed quite a few things up.

I tend to use patchmypc, which works well for my needs.

Have the paid for version for many years - a good product that I will recommend.

I don't dislike it but I kinda question the usefulness of a program that only checks if software is outdated. Beyond that it will basically do a generic Google search for the update in your default browser.

Doesn't seem pointless, just lost potential vs actually updating the program (or at least downloading the update) and letting the user install.

TL;DR it checks if programs are outdated and if so it points you in the general direction to find said update.

The program just checks your software and gives you the information about newer versions. The click on selected software just leads you to the developer site or to SUMO site. You need to download and update your program manually. For possible driver update you should pay for DUMO program. Iobit pro versions of Driver Booster and Uninstaller do this work for you (these programs were proposed by GOTD this year).

As I prefer to keep my W10 Pro production machine clean, I installed it in a virtual W7 pro and made it portable using the freeware Cameyo.

This portable ran fine on the production computer. it identified one update:
Java(TM) Platform SE (64 bits) Oracle 8.0.2410.7 Update available (8.0.2510.8)

As it has a lifelong licence, I will keep it.

I've been using Sumo Lite for a few weeks, and updates seem to be available for this on a regular basis. As this must also be the case for Sumo Pro, then no updates will be available without upgrading to the paid version.
The only reason for my installing the giveaway is that Sumo Lite informs me that updates are available for various pieces of Canon software, for EOS cameras and Maxify printers. When I visit the Canon site to manually download the "updates", I find no mention of them, so I haven't a clue where Sumo finds the files. As Sumo Pro can automatically download updates, I'll see if the "automatic" method produces anything.
Sumo also seems to find updates for other programs, like WinZip, IOBit uninstaller, and Viber, in advance of the updates becoming available when you check for updates on the programs themselves.
