If this does everything it claims to then I found my new portable app launcher. The ability to automatically update all of their included software is reason enough. I probably have 200 pieces of software on my thumb drive, and it's a total nightmare trying to keep it up to date.

Edit: None of the software will launch. The menu seems to be launching an exe that I'm guessing is then supposed to launch the software after doing whatever it is that it's doing. If I go into the apps folder I can open everything with no problem. I tried looking through the forums for a solution, but I don't speak French so that was pretty futile. If anyone figures it out let me know.

Edit2: I moved the folder to my normal thumb drive folder and everything started working. I'm guessing there is a file length bug, or something similar. Not a big deal since that won't pop up when it's actually on my flash drive.

it will only keep the software that was downloaded from liberkey up to date what you do is go to their software libray select the software then liberkey will auto download and install it for you then will keep that software up to date idont thinkit will keep other software up to date for that i recomend ketarin

Sets like theses allows seemed to be over kill to me. Do I really need 6 CD burners and 4 photo editors? The thing I find them most useful for is checking new software. I have my favorites that I like and use but I'm always open to a program that does it better. I just wonder how long it will take me go threw all the programs?

no you misread the software page if you go to the lats row of the table you will see some icons the icons show if there included or not there are 3 grades lite standard and ultimate ultimate will alow you do do almost anything while lite alows you to do basic things you can then add aditional software as you need it

[lawson_jl]

I didn't misread I see there are 3 sets. But what's the point of download something like that if your not going full bore and getting everything.

the main reason the are 3 sets is for different needs i personally like ultimate because ive had so many experiences where ive wanted to do soemthing and i had the software ready and waiting.

yes there are like many different aps that do differnt things but thats becuase there interchangable the standard audio player in basic is vlc i changed that for cool player becuase its a nicer interface i aslo swapped some other stuff.

its just really a software suite than a launcher menu

hope this helps

Has anyone else had problems with it losing your newer menu configurations? It happened to me a few times while I was moving stuff around, and now I'm a little worried about adding my collection and then having to do it again.

On a side note their updates are very quick. I noticed CrystalDiskInfo was updated yesterday in my AppNews.net RSS feed, and they already had it in the available list of updates.

I have been playing with this for about 2 hours now. I moved a few things around and added some new stuff, everything seems to be fine.

Currently running my first update, taking a long time; about an hour so far. By I am just assuming that is because it's the first time.

Nice bit of software ou found here. Really like the ease of use, auto updating and the sheer amount of preinstalled software!

[nibblesandbits]

Downloading now. Kind of excited to see what this software can do! :)

I had to stop using it because I moved some stuff around, and then the next time I updated it pretty much broke everything. If you don't mind how their menu is structured than it might be an okay starting point, but i already have a massive collection sorted the way I want it. I did find some cool stuff to add though so I'd recommend people check it out.
