Glarysoft Software Update

What Glarysoft Software Update is

Glarysoft Software Update scans applications installed on a Windows PC and checks Glarysoft’s software library for available versions. Its free edition reports update notifications and information, but users download the updates manually. Software Update Pro can update software after the user clicks Install, and its guide describes silent installation without user intervention. Pro also includes Remote Manager, which lets network administrators manage software installation and updates on LAN-connected PCs. The Software Update Pro home page organizes its library into categories such as Browsers & Plugins, Utilities, Security, Communications, Video, and Photos. Users can ignore beta versions, customize which versions appear or are ignored, and turn startup at boot on or off. Glarysoft says the free updater connects to its library and lists “No personal information leakage” as a feature. The download page also lists integration into Glarysoft Community. The product page advertises a 30-day money-back guarantee, and Glarysoft says it usually responds to email inquiries within one or two business days. Plans include a free option, an annual Pro plan, and a one-time three-PC code.

Who it suits

The free edition suits Windows users who want update notifications and are comfortable downloading updates themselves. Pro is aimed at home and business users who want assisted updates or LAN administration, including administrators at internet cafes, schools, and companies.

Limits

The free plan provides update notices and information but requires manual downloads. Automatic upgrades and remote management are listed with Pro.

Getting started

1. Open the Software Update website.

Verdict

Choose Software Update if you use Windows and want update notices from Glarysoft’s software library, or need Pro’s update and LAN management capabilities. The free edition leaves downloads to you, and its listed platform coverage is Windows only.
