In their own words

Glarysoft Software Update

Glarysoft Software Update scans applications installed on a Windows PC and checks Glarysoft’s software library for available versions. The free version notifies users about updates and provides information, but users must download the updates manually. Software Update Pro can install an update after the user selects Install, and its guide describes silent installation without user intervention. Remote Manager lets network administrators manage installations and updates on LAN-connected PCs. Users can ignore beta versions, choose which versions to show or ignore, and set whether the updater starts when Windows boots. The Pro library groups software into categories including Browsers & Plugins, Utilities, Security, Communications, Video, and Photos. Glarysoft lists the updater as a Windows product and describes Pro for home and business use, including LAN administration for internet cafes, schools, and companies. The free plan is listed at free. Pro is listed at $12.95 a year, and a three-PC code at $14.97, paid once. The product page advertises a 30-day money-back guarantee; Glarysoft says it usually responds to email inquiries within one or two business days.
