Software Director
Software Director provides useful features for users, application
developers, and support sites:
- If you are a computer user, the Software Director client allows
you to check for software, driver and BIOS updates, plus news and add-ons for installed software products, without
disclosing any information about yourself or about the software installed on
your computer. Software Director can also help you keep all software-related
files and information accessible from a single place.
- If you are a software developer, you can include the redistributable
Software Director components (DLL) with your installation package, and configure
your software to automatically check for updates, or to allow the user to invoke
a manual check.
- If you are a software or hardware developer, you can enable
version checking from your web site via the Software Director ActiveX Control.
- If you are a hardware manufacturer you can take specific advantage of
Software Director's software, driver and BIOS detection capabilities. Your
customers can be guided to a one-click download of the most suitable and
up-to-date files without leaving your site.
- If you are a software vendor, you can offer and sell upgrades and
related products directly from the Software Director interface.
All three application scenarios share the same authoring tools and
server-side data.
