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.

HAMISH McDONALD,
Don't put your name, use the name in the text file Giveawayoftheday or something like that, and then the code, using your name as you stated you did is not the way it instructs you to do it which is why it fails.

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.

onderzoeker,

Just as a quick FYI, they offer a portable version right on their site and it works fine with the registration from this site for the free offer, been using it this way for years as it is offered here fairly regularly.

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.
