Unclear that means their web site and downloads will cease to exist.
SUMo has agreements with software provide to keep him
apprised of versions updates. This will vanish.
Sumo will be worthless after that.

I've downloaded lots of unsupported software, but the site remained and
the downloads were still available, or the software was available
elsewhere (e.g., download sites). Not sure "activities are to be
terminated" means they'll yank their web site, but there would still be
the costs of web hosting and bandwidth (at ovh.com), and they obviously
would not be generating new revenue to offset those costs.
They give their company address as "31190 AUTERIVE FRANCE". I wanted to
see if street view in Google Maps would show if it was a residence or commercial building; however, without a street name, the street view
can't show the location. With the GPDR fucking up domain registrant
info, a WhoIS on kcsoftwares.com is severely redacted. Anyone can
visit, but God forbid anyone knows to who they connect.

Hi Vanguard,
Um... er... please spend a moment to give me some credit for not being
stupid as that's _exactly_ why I provided the hash in the first place.
If the site disappears, but if the software shows up somewhere else ten
years from now (and it will) how do you know if it's the _same_ software?
If you trust my hash - then you know the answer but w/o it, you don't know.
And the URL also has value - because it makes it easy for anyone else to click on it to obtain the files instantly - which is why I provided it.
The URL is to allow anyone on this newsgroup to get the software easily (please note that I almost _always_ go to the trouble to provide the URL).
Please give me credit for not being stupid like most people seem to be
& for thinking ahead on why I provided not only the URL, but also the hash.

Hi Al,
That one sound better than any of the other I found.
on:
https://alternativeto.net/software/sumo/?p=2
It sounds like I can do automatically or manual updates.
And it ranks the updates (criticals, etc.) which is
what I need.
It's why I write extensive tutorials (so many, that I can't count them).
If I'm going to spend my valuable time documenting a solution, it's not
worth my effort to help only one person. That's why I use archived ngs.
Unfortunately, the Windows archives suck, even as I've tried using them.
<http://tinyurl.com/alt-comp-os-windows-10>
<http://alt.comp.os.windows-10.narkive.com/>
So I strive to add newsgroups which are autoarchived & web searchable:
<http://groups.google.com/g/alt.comp.microsoft.windows>
Even though nobody actually uses that group - the archive is what matters. Anyone can search that archive now or ten or twenty years from now.
That's leverage if they find our tutorials useful two decades from now.

Wow. I love Usenet!
Patch My PC HAS to connect to the internet to check for updates
to itself and check all your found installed software
for new versions.
the way you are doing it is a waste of time.
Me, for instance, am reading this on alt.comp.os.windows-10, and the
oldest article I can read today is dated 2020-09-07. I do not search on
the sites you mentioned, I search here.
If you want to post useful tutorials, create or find a website to host
them, and post them there, properly edited and indexed.
c. I then ensure that energy is archived in the permanent archives These permanent archives are available to _everyone_ on the planet.

Patchmy PC evaluation:
1) not a thorough as SUMo. Misses driver that are out of date (AMS)
2) worky interface
3) does not differentiate critical for just out of date
Basically, sort of good, but I will continue looking for better.

Hello,EOL https://kcsoftwares.com/?buy
After about 20 years of a fantastic adventure, and due to the general context, we have taken the decision to stop. Several good alternatives are on the market... but we hope you enjoyed our products up to now.
Products will reach EOL, which means that they will stop to work quickly after this date, depending on the progressive decommissioning of the server architecture. As indicated on our "buy" page, the product (and activation licence) "lifetime" ends at
While SUMo was an "aged" product, based on technology from 2 decades ago, I'm confident that the developper's community will soon come with a better, more modern, future-proof alternative.
Of course I could quote one of the many good updaters on the market : UCheck, VulnDetect, PatchMyPC, WingetUI, UpdateHub, Chocolatey, Scoop and certainly more.

Well, they are kept somewhere, sometimes. No warranties. Only as long as someone wants to keep paying the maintenance. Then, seeking for
information about something is very hard, as those archives keep
everything, including the trolling and spamming, and all the chatting.
Thinking that you can write some document and leave it here for the
future is simply ridiculous. It doesn't work.
Now somekind of blog or documentation site, properly indexed, would be nice.
UCheck has a bad loyout. It is not the table layout the
SUMo has. And it seems to only catch "community"
software. No "critical" detection. It is kind
of a joke.
VulnDetect has a weird local and web interface. But
it works. It does catch criticals. It also demands
to be run automatically. You can set when. Also
it has a mechanism to add tested software to the list.
Neither one matches SUMo in capability.

Carlos has written _zero_ tutorials and _zero_ tips like those from "T".
In fact, Carlos will _never_ be able to write anything worth archiving.
So be it.
This message is simply to state that Carlos is dead wrong about
archival.
Not only is Carlos wrong, but it's highly likely Carlos has never heard
of the Usenet archives we spoke about - so you can't trust his
assessments.
The fact is that it's trivial to figure out which newsgroups are automatically archived to a web-searchable format that everyone can
access.
In general, it's all the operating system newsgroups _except_ the
Windows newsgroups we most often use (but it does include _other_
Windows newsgroups such as the alt.comp.microsoft.windows newsgroup).
Hence, for those like "T" and I who add value which is useful to others
in the future, it behooves us to add alt.comp.microsoft.windows to the
list.
The point which people like Carlos and Frank Slootweg will never be able
to understand is that it's not added for our amusement or to troll - as that's how _they_ think - but not a normal adult who is attempting to
add value.
It's added so that it's archived in a place that is as permanent as any.
It's added so that it's archived in a place that requires no
login/passwd. It's added so that it's archived in a place that only
needs a web browser. etc.
Such concepts are far too deep for people like Frank Slootweg or Carlos
to ever comprehend - but the hope is that there are 1 out of 100 people
on this newsgroup who are intelligent enough to understand archival
concepts.

notice that they're going to stop existing (apparently) in a few days...

I'm curious how many you have installed on your Windows desktop PC.

I will say that it's hard to organize "suites" such as these are.
Other "suite" examples, of course, are the office tools, majorgeeks and windowsclub downloads, and the classic suites such as nirsoft, sysinternals and winaero tools (where even I have difficulty pigeon holing them into appropriate functional categories).
There is also the
QuickInstaller
https://www.quickinstaller.net/
to check for program updates
Or even Major Geeks Software Updater for Windows 7-11
- http://www.majorgeeks.com/MajorGeeks_Software_Updater_d8044.html
Yes. Who else could say such things? :-D
And I even didn't post in this thread, but still he felt the need to 'praise' me. It boggles the mind.

Do you have a favorite replacement for SUMo?

Hi wasbit,
Thanks for pointing that out as others may not know about a.c.f on here.

I found your thread where I'd recommend adding the "SUMO or DUMO" keywords
to the title because a search for either in the title or body fails unless you know to either use the name of the program or no spaces in the apps.

Unfortunately, the words " SUMO " or " DUMO " don't even exist in that
thread (with spaces delineating the word) so it would be hard to find them unless you knew they were surrounded by ";" as in ";SUMO;" & ";DUMO;"

Since you're a freeware expert, you probably associate sumo & dumo with kcsoftwares, but others might not so it needed sumo or dumo in the subject.
In my archives, for example, they're not listed under kcsoftwares but as
c:\archives\cleaners\updaters\drivers\dumo
c:\archivers\cleaners\updaters\software\sumo
(Note: I don't use plurals but I do here for readability).

Other "suite" examples, of course, are the office tools, majorgeeks and windowsclub downloads, and the classic suites such as nirsoft, sysinternals and winaero tools (where even I have difficulty pigeon holing them into appropriate functional categories).
Normally, for suites, if I find the entire suite useful (e.g., nirsoft),
then I actually save them twice. Once under "suites" and the other I
disperse them into where they belong, which itself can have duplicates.
c:\archivers\hardware\bsod\WhatIsHang for example
When you do that, you just copy your WinXP start menu folder to
Window7 and then 8 and then Vista and then 10, etc., to access apps.

In summary, we both worked together where you informed one community (freeware folks) while I informed the Windows and hardware folks too.
