Installed and registered without problems on a Win 8.1.3 Pro 64 bit system. A clean install. The registration key would not loose anything with 10 digits less.

A (French) company without name and address. Damien, you know, that you are violating French and European law?

A resizable window opens. In the settings you can change language, enable/disable different parameters from driver update to registry scan.
Inconsistent German/English language mix. This should not be...

The program scans the installed software, sends all information to their server and compares the list. If you have any privacy concerns (see yesterday) you surely would not do this. For this test I have no problems.

If you want to update a program it leads you to the sumo side:

A useful program, if you are lazy with updates. Of course, SUMO finds updates for software which you cannot update, like GOTD offers. If you have no problems in sharing all information about installed software on your computer with other parties (vendors, marketeers, producers...) than you can install this.

It does, what it claims.
Uninstalled via reboot

Having used the free version of SUMo for some time now, I can state that the software updates on almost a weekly basis. So, unless this version comes with updates included, it's going to be obsolete within the month.

BTW, SUMO is excellent, and it is absolutely not true that 99% of the apps have buitl-in update notifications. Perhaps 10% have it, and anyway I prefer a centralised method to retrieve all updates at the same time, when I have enough time to do it. I hate to be interrupted in my work because I need to update a software that I must use immediately. I have therefore tried several free update programs similar to SUMO, and some are handy (like the FileHyppo Update Checker), but SUMO is by far the most complete one. I hope only that updates to Sumo pro will be possible, because indeed the updates of this program are frequent, and I wonder if it will be possible to skip them, or keep the pro version anyway.

99% of all installed software has a built/in update notification feature already. No need to install this software.

But, of course, when servicing a computer, such as someone else in the family, or revisiting an older one I haven't used in a while, how are you even going to FIND all their installed software, especially ad-ins?!?

This is a great INVENTORY software, going well beyond Microsoft's own [ Programs .. ] control panel.

It found many programs without "proper" versions registered ... and, sadly, no way to [ Click here to fix this ] -- what, reinstall or just live with it, or, as suggested, use any unlisted program's self-updater, or check manually?

Combine this with IOBit Uninstaller, and Windows File Explorer and you'd have a nice Operating system (neither this nor any Uninstaller lets you actually RUN the program pointed at!).

Why not include this in right-click [ Check for Updates ] on ANY program dynamically at shortcuts and in Windows Explorer?

Thanks for this -- a great tool, and like any other in my toolkit, I don't expect it to do everything other tools do, but glad to have it on-board.

It it ain't broken, fixing it may break it.
